Abstract excerpt
The α-tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP) is a liver protein that transfers α-tocopherol (vitamin E) to very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs). These VLDLs are then circulated throughout the body to maintain blood α-tocopherol levels. Mutations to the α-TTP gene are associated with ataxia with vit...
