Abstract excerpt
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) catalyzes the assembly of triglyceride (TG)-rich apolipoprotein B-containing liver (e.g., VLDL) and intestinal (e.g., chylomicron) lipoproteins. The human MTP gene promoter is reported here to associate in vivo with endogenous hepatocyte nuclear factor-4alpha (HNF-4alpha) and to be transactivated or transsuppressed by overexpressed or by dominant negative HNF-4alpha,...
