Abstract excerpt
Transthyretin (TTR) tetramer dissociation and misfolding affords a monomeric amyloidogenic intermediate that misassembles into aggregates including amyloid fibrils. Amyloidogenesis of wild-type (WT) TTR causes senile systemic amyloidosis (SSA), whereas fibril formation from one of the more than 80 TTR variants leads to familial amyloidosis, typically with earlier onset than SSA. Several nonsteroidal...
