Abstract excerpt
Transthyretin (TTR), a 56 kDa homotetramer that is involved in the transport of thyroxine and retinol, has been linked to amyloidosis through disassembly of tetramers to form monomers, dimers, and trimers that then reassemble into higher order oligomers and/or fibrils. Hybrid TTR (hTTR) tetramers are found in heterozygous individuals that express both wild type TTR (wt-TTR) and mutant TTR (mTTR) forms of the...
