Angiopoietin-like proteins

Short description: Family of proteins

The Angiopoietin-like proteins are proteins structurally like the angiopoietins[1] but which do not bind to the angiopoietin receptors.

Also known as the Angiopoietin-related proteins.

## Members

* Angiopoietin-related protein 1, gene ANGPTL1
