Correlation between betatrophin/angiogenin-likeprotein3/lipoprotein lipase pathway and severity of coronary artery disease in Kazakh patients with coronary heart disease

Figure 2 Schematic diagram of structural characteristics of angiopoietin-like proteins members. The members of the angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTLs) have their own different structural characteristics, betatrophin is considered an atypical new member of the ANGPTLs because of the lack of the C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain. However, betatrophin, angiogenin-likeprotein3, and angiogenin-likeprotein4 all possess protein domains that bind to low density lipoprotein receptor. These characteristics provide evidence for their joint participation in lipid regulation.
