- Study Design
- 11 SNPs in the MTTP gene were genotyped in 1451 old people (mean age: 77.9 ± 0.2 years) and 777 controls (30- 50 years, mean age: 40.6 ± 0.2 years) to study association with longevity
- Conclusions
- MTTP gene variants were not significant association with longevity
- 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]
