Abstract excerpt
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is a heterodimer consisting of the multifunctional enzyme protein disulfide isomerase and a unique, large 97-kDa subunit. MTP is required for the assembly and secretion of very low density lipoproteins and chylomicrons by the liver and intestine, respectively. In vitro, MTP catalyzes the transport of triglyceride, cholesteryl ester, and phosphatidylcholine between...
