Apolipoprotein CIII may mediate the impacts of angiopoietin-like protein 8 on triglyceride metabolism [PDF]
Background Angiopoietin-like protein 8(ANGPTL8) and apolipoprotein CIII (apoCIII) were found to inhibit the activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and disrupt the clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs), leading to hypertriglyceridemia.

Angiopoietin-like protein 8 directs DNA damage responses towards apoptosis by stabilizing PARP1-DNA condensates. [PDF]
Upon genotoxic stresses, cells employ various DNA damage responses (DDRs), including DNA damage repair or apoptosis, to safeguard genome integrity. However, the determinants among different DDRs choices are largely unknown. Here, we report angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8), a secreted regulator of lipid metabolism, localizes to the nucleus and acts
