Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** ANGPT4 is a secreted protein that belongs to the angiopoietin family, which consists of six members. ANGPT4 exhibits distinct structural and functional characteristics, including a distinctive C-terminal region with a hydrophobic motif, which enables it to interact with its receptor, Tie2. This interaction triggers a signaling cascade that regulates angiogenesis, cell migration, and proliferation. **Pathways and Functions:** ANGPT4's involvement in angiogenesis is primarily mediated by its interaction with the Tie2 receptor, which is a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase. This interaction triggers a signaling cascade that activates downstream pathways, including: 1. **Tie2 signaling pathway:** ANGPT4 binding to Tie2 activates the receptor's tyrosine kinase activity, leading to the phosphorylation of downstream targets, such as PI3K and AKT. 2. **Notch signaling pathway:** ANGPT4 also interacts with the Notch signaling pathway, which regulates cell fate decisions, proliferation, and differentiation. 3. **Cell surface interactions at the vascular wall:** ANGPT4's interaction with the vascular wall is mediated by its binding to heparan sulfate proteoglycans, which regulates cell migration and adhesion. 4. **Negative regulation of angiogenesis:** ANGPT4 also exhibits anti-angiogenic properties, inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels by suppressing the expression of pro-angiogenic factors. **Clinical Significance:** ANGPT4's involvement in angiogenesis and its regulatory functions make it a potential therapeutic target for various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer:** ANGPT4's role in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis makes it a promising target for cancer therapy. 2. **Vascular diseases:** ANGPT4's involvement in vascular remodeling and inflammation suggests its potential as a therapeutic target for cardiovascular diseases. 3. **Neurological disorders:** ANGPT4's interaction with the Notch signaling pathway and its role in neuronal development and maintenance make it a potential therapeutic target for neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In conclusion, ANGPT4 is a multifunctional protein that plays a crucial role in angiogenesis and various cellular processes. Its regulatory functions make it a promising therapeutic target for various diseases, highlighting the need for further research into its mechanisms of action and potential applications.
