Transthyretin (prealbumin) in health and disease: nutritional implications.

Annual review of nutrition - 1 Jan 1994

Ingenbleek Y, Young V

Abstract excerpt

The name "transthyretin" reflects the dual physiological roles of this tetrameric unglycosylated plasma protein. TTR is one of three specific carrier proteins involved in the transport of both thyroid hormones and of retinol through the mediation of RBP. TTR is a product of the visceral compartment, and its hepatic synthesis is exquisititely sensitive to both the adequacy and levels of protein and energy...
