OverviewNCBI Gene

Angiopoietins are proteins with important roles in vascular development and angiogenesis. All angiopoietins bind with similar affinity to an endothelial cell-specific tyrosine-protein kinase receptor. The mechanism by which they contribute to angiogenesis is thought to involve regulation of endothelial cell interactions with supporting perivascular cells. The protein encoded by this gene functions as an agonist and is an angiopoietin. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ANGPT4 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ANGPT4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ANGPT4 could matter depends on whether native ANGPT4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ANGPT4 is annotated as secreted, so native ANGPT4 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label ANGPT4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
