α-Tocopherol Transfer Protein Is Important for the Normal Development of Placental Labyrinthine Trophoblasts in Mice
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (alpha-TTP), a cytosolic protein that specifically binds alpha-tocopherol, is known as a product of the causative gene in patients with ataxia that is associated with vitamin E deficiency. Targeted disruption of the alpha-TTP gene revealed that alpha-tocopherol concentration in the circulation was regulated by alpha-TTP expression levels. Male alpha-TTP(-/-) mice were fertile;...
