Protein Domain : Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein large subunit

Primary Identifier  IPR039988 Type  Family
Short Name  MTTP
description  Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein large subunit (MTTP) catalyzes the transport of triglyceride, cholesteryl ester, and phospholipid between phospholipid surfaces, and is required for the secretion of plasma lipoproteins that contain apolipoprotein B. It is a heterodimer consisting of a large MTP alpha-subunit and a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) beta-subunit. Mutations in microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) cause abetalipoproteinemia [, , ].
