ANGPT1

ANGPT1 (angiopoietin-1, ANG1) is a human gene at 8q23.1 encoding a 498-amino-acid secreted glycoprotein, the Tie2 agonist that stabilizes blood vessels, reduces leakage, and whose mutations link to hereditary angioedema.

ANGPT2

ANGPT2 (angiopoietin 2, ANG2, AGPT2) is a human gene at 8p23.1 encoding a 496-aa TIE2 ligand that acts as a context-dependent agonist in lymphatic endothelium and antagonist in blood vessels, implicated in sepsis, cancer, and ARDS.

ANGPTL3

ANGPTL3 (angiopoietin-like protein 3) is a liver-secreted inhibitor of lipoprotein and endothelial lipase; loss-of-function variants cause familial combined hypolipidemia, and evinacumab and CRISPR editing target it to lower LDL-C and triglycerides.

ANGPTL4

ANGPTL4 (angiopoietin-like 4, FIAF, PGAR) is a secreted glycoprotein on chromosome 19 that inhibits lipoprotein lipase, regulating triglyceride metabolism; loss-of-function variants lower triglycerides and coronary risk, and antibody MAR001 is in trials.

ANGPTL8

ANGPTL8 (angiopoietin-like 8; also lipasin, RIFL, betatrophin; C19orf80) is a human 19p13.2 gene encoding a 198-aa, 22-kDa liver-secreted hormone that regulates triglycerides by inhibiting lipoprotein lipase via ANGPTL3/8 and ANGPTL4/8 complexes; its retracted betatrophin beta-cell proliferation claim was disproven in 2016.
