Function

Mediates inactivation of the lipoprotein lipase LPL, and thereby plays a role in the regulation of triglyceride clearance from the blood serum and in lipid metabolism (PubMed:19270337, PubMed:21398697, PubMed:27929370, PubMed:29899144). May also play a role in regulating glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity (Probable). Inhibits proliferation, migration, and tubule formation of endothelial cells and reduces vascular leakage (PubMed:14583458, PubMed:17068295). Upon heterologous expression, inhibits the adhesion of endothelial cell to the extracellular matrix (ECM), and inhibits the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, formation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions in endothelial cells that have adhered to ANGPTL4-containing ECM (in vitro) (PubMed:17068295). Depending on context, may modulate tumor-related angiogenesis (By similarity). ANGPTL4 N-terminal chain. Mediates inactivation of the lipoprotein lipase LPL, and thereby plays an important role in the regulation of triglyceride clearance from the blood serum and in lipid metabolism (PubMed:19270337, PubMed:21398697, PubMed:27929370, PubMed:29899144). Has higher activity in LPL inactivation than the uncleaved protein (PubMed:19270337, PubMed:21398697).

Supplementary info

Activity summary

Angiopoietin-like 4 also known as ANGPTL4 like4 or ANGPTL4 protein is a glycoprotein with an approximate mass of 50 kDa. It plays a role in lipid metabolism by inhibiting lipoprotein lipase which reduces the breakdown of triglycerides. ANGPTL4 protein is secreted by liver adipose tissue and placenta showing expression in response to fasting and during low insulin states. This expression pattern connects its function to energy homeostasis and metabolic regulation.

Biological function summary

ANGPTL4 protein influences processes such as lipid metabolism angiogenesis and wound healing. It does not integrate into a large protein complex but functions independently to exert its effects. Inhibition of lipoprotein lipase by ANGPTL4 decreases adipose tissue fat storage and modulates plasma lipid levels. This modulation plays a critical role in maintaining energy balance and glucose homeostasis particularly under metabolic stress conditions.

Pathways

The functionality of ANGPTL4 protein intersects with the PPAR (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor) signaling pathway and the glucose homeostasis pathway. It interacts with other proteins such as PPAR-alpha and PPAR-gamma which regulate genes involved in fatty acid oxidation and lipid transport. This interaction influences the body's response to fasting and caloric restriction by altering lipid metabolism and ensuring efficient energy use.

Associated diseases and disorders

ANGPTL4 protein correlates with cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Elevated levels of ANGPTL4 associate with an increased risk for atherosclerosis due to its role in lipid metabolism disturbance. In cancer particularly gastric cancer ANGPTL4 influences tumor metastasis by promoting angiogenesis. Its effects on these diseases link to proteins like VEGF in angiogenesis and other metabolic regulators in cardiovascular conditions.
