ANGPTL3 impacts proteinuria and hyperlipidemia in primary nephrotic syndrome
Background It is unclear why primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) patients often have dyslipidemia. Recent studies have shown that angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) is an important regulator of lipid metabolism.

Triglycerides (TG) are required for fatty acid transport and storage and are essential for human health. Angiopoietin-like-protein 8 (ANGPTL8) has previously been shown to form a complex with ANGPTL3 that increases circulating TG by potently inhibiting ...

Angiopoietin-like protein 3: a novel potential biomarker for nephrotic syndrome in children
BackgroundAngiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) is a secretory glycoprotein. It has been demonstrated that ANGPTL3 level was upregulated in minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) kidney tissues.

Genetic and Pharmacologic Inactivation of ANGPTL3 and Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
Background Loss-of-function variants in the angiopoietin-like 3 gene (ANGPTL3) have been associated with decreased plasma levels of triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

Supported by an abundance of experimental and genetic evidence, angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease. ANGPTL3 is primarily produced by the liver and is a potent modulator of plasma

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Elevated LDL-C and triglycerides are important risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Although effective therapies for lipid lowering exist, many people do not reach their treatment targets.

After feeding, adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity should be maximized, therefore the potent LPL-inhibitory activity of angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) must be blocked by ANGPTL8 through formation of ANGPTL4/8 complexes.

Identifying the Lipidomic Effects of a Rare Loss-of-Function Deletion in ANGPTL3 [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The identification and understanding of therapeutic targets for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is of fundamental importance given its global health and economic burden.

ANGPTL3 Deficiency and Risk of Hepatic Steatosis
Background: ANGPTL3 (angiopoietin-like 3) is a therapeutic target for reducing plasma levels of triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. A recent trial with vupanorsen, an antisense oligonucleotide targeting hepatic production of ANGPTL3 ...
