The molecular basis of abetalipoproteinemia.

Current opinion in lipidology - 1 Apr 1994

Gregg R E, Wetterau J R

Abstract excerpt

Abetalipoproteinemia is a recessive genetic disease in humans characterized by the virtual absence of apolipoprotein (apo)B and apoB-containing lipoproteins in plasma. Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), a resident lipid transfer protein within the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes and enterocytes, has been shown to be absent in enterocytes from subjects with this disease. MTP is a heterodimer of a...
