Anti-angiopoietin like 3 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the ANGPTL3 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 460 amino acid residues and a mass of 53.6 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. It is noted to be expressed principally in the liver. It is known to act in part as a hepatokine that is involved in regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism. Post-translational modifications have been described, including O-glycosylation and protein cleavage. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Hypobetalipoproteinemia. Other names for this target antigen include ANGPT5, ANL3, FHBL2, angiopoietin-related protein 3, angiopoietin 5, and ANG-5. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of angiopoietin like 3 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.
