Product details:
Mouse Angiopoietin-like 4 ELISA Kit (ab210577) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Angiopoietin-like 4 protein in cell culture extracts, cell culture supernatant, and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse Angiopoietin-like 4 with 29 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
Angiopoietin-like 4 (Angiopoietin-related protein 4,ANGPTL4) is a member of the ANGPTL family and structurally related to angiopoietins. Angiopoietin-like 4 is secreted and may also associate with the extracellular matrix. It is associated with angiogenesis and metastasis.

Angiopoietin-like 4 also known as ANGPTL4 like4 or ANGPTL4 protein is a glycoprotein with an approximate mass of 50 kDa. It plays a role in lipid metabolism by inhibiting lipoprotein lipase which reduces the breakdown of triglycerides. ANGPTL4 protein is secreted by liver adipose tissue and placenta showing expression in response to fasting and during low insulin states. This expression pattern connects its function to energy homeostasis and metabolic regulation.
Biological function summary
ANGPTL4 protein influences processes such as lipid metabolism angiogenesis and wound healing. It does not integrate into a large protein complex but functions independently to exert its effects. Inhibition of lipoprotein lipase by ANGPTL4 decreases adipose tissue fat storage and modulates plasma lipid levels. This modulation plays a critical role in maintaining energy balance and glucose homeostasis particularly under metabolic stress conditions.
Pathways
The functionality of ANGPTL4 protein intersects with the PPAR (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor) signaling pathway and the glucose homeostasis pathway. It interacts with other proteins such as PPAR-alpha and PPAR-gamma which regulate genes involved in fatty acid oxidation and lipid transport. This interaction influences the body's response to fasting and caloric restriction by altering lipid metabolism and ensuring efficient energy use.
ANGPTL4 protein correlates with cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Elevated levels of ANGPTL4 associate with an increased risk for atherosclerosis due to its role in lipid metabolism disturbance. In cancer particularly gastric cancer ANGPTL4 influences tumor metastasis by promoting angiogenesis. Its effects on these diseases link to proteins like VEGF in angiogenesis and other metabolic regulators in cardiovascular conditions.
