ECM-bound ANGPTL4 modulates antiangiogenic activity; extends mechanistic understanding but leaves open clinical translation.
The coiled-coil domain of ANGPTL4 interacts with heparan sulfate proteoglycans, protecting it from proteolysis and mediating its antiangiogenic effects in hypoxic endothelial cells.
Chomel et al. (2008) studied Angiogenesis. Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) and its coiled-coil domain (CCD) was evaluated on Binding to extracellular matrix and inhibition of endothelial cell adhesion, motility, and tubule-like formation. The full-length form of ANGPTL4 interacts with heparan sulfate proteoglycans via its coiled-coil domain, which protects it from proteolysis and regulates its antiangiogenic activity.
