Plasma-borne angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTL) act as endocrine factors on their target tissues. Because ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL4 play important roles in lipid metabolism and the regulation of adiposity in mice, we hypothesized that genetic variability at the ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL4 genes loci might influence lipid metabolism and fat deposition in humans.
