Abstract: Angiopoietin-like protein 8(ANGPTL8) secreted by liver and adipose tissue, is a glycoprotein exerting paramount effects on facilitation of vascular remodeling and regulation of inflammatory response; ANGPTL8 is involved in the initiation and progression of cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease, hypertension, aortic aneurysm and pathological cardiac hypertrophy, and holds promise for being a new target for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Key words: angiopoietin-like protein 8, coronary artery disease, hypertension, aortic aneurysm, pathological cardiac hypertrophy
