Anti-angiopoietin like 1 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the ANGPTL1 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 491 amino acid residues and a mass of 56.7 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in adrenal gland, placenta, thyroid gland, heart, skeletal muscle and small intestine. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include ANGPT3, ARP1, AngY, UNQ162, dJ595C2.2, angiopoietin-related protein 1, ANG-3, and ANG3. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of angiopoietin like 1 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
