Gene details
- HGNC symbol
- MTTP
- Aliases
- ABL; MTP
- Common name
- microsomal triglyceride transfer protein
- Description
- MTP encodes the large subunit of the heterodimeric microsomal triglyceride transfer protein. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) completes the heterodimeric microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, which has been shown to play a central role in lipoprotein assembly. Mutations in MTP can cause abetalipoproteinemia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
