General information

  • ANGPTL4 is a 50kDa secreted protein highly expressed in adipose tissue. [1]
  • ANGPTL4 is processed in a tissue- and species-specific manner. [1]
  • FIAF is predominantly expressed in adipose tissue and is strongly up-regulated by fasting in white adipose tissue and liver. [2]
  • Fiaf is a circulating lipoprotein lipase inhibitor and its suppression is essential for the microbiota-induced deposition of triglycerides in adipocytes. [3]
  • Expression of ANGPTL4 is directly regulated by members of the PPAR family of transcription factors. [1]
  • The expression of PGAR is predominantly localized to adipose tissues and placenta and is consistently elevated in genetic models of obesity. [4]
  • Alterations in nutrition and leptin administration are found to modulate the PGAR expression in vivo. [4]
