Preferred Label : Angiopoietin-like Proteins;
MeSH definition : A family of proteins that is structurally similar to ANGIOPOIETINS but do not bind
angiopoietin receptors. They are characterized by an amino-terminal coiled-coil domain,
a linker region, and a carboxy-terminal FIBRINOGEN-like domain with the exception
of ANGPTL8, which lacks the fibrinogen-like domain. They function in a variety of
developmental and physiological processes, including INFLAMMATION, lipid metabolism,
hematopoietic stem cell activity, and cancer metastasis.;
MeSH synonym : Angiopoietin like Proteins; Angiopoietin-like Protein; Angiopoietin like Protein; Angiopoietin-related Protein; Angiopoietin related Protein;
