Abstract excerpt
The microsomal triacylglycerol transfer protein (MTP), an alpha beta dimer, is obligatory for the assembly of apoB-containing lipoproteins in liver and intestinal cells. The beta subunit is identical with protein disulphide isomerase, a 58 kDa endoplasmic reticulum luminal protein involved in ensuring correct disulphide bond formation of newly synthesized proteins. We report here the expression of the human MTP...
