Abstract excerpt
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) activity is classically measured using radioactive lipids. We described a simple fluorescence assay to measure its triacylglycerol (TAG) transfer activity. Here, we describe fluorescence-based methods to measure the transfer of phospholipids (PLs) and cholesteryl esters (CEs) by MTP. Both transfer activities increased with time and MTP amounts and were inhibited to...
