Description |
microsomal triglyceride transfer protein |
| Gene Summary |
Enables lipid transfer activity. Involved in lipoprotein transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fatty acid transport; lipoprotein biosynthetic process; and sprouting angiogenesis. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus; basolateral plasma membrane; and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; liver; marginal blastomere; testis; and yolk syncytial layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including abetalipoproteinemia; familial hypercholesterolemia; hyperinsulinism; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; and obesity. Orthologous to human MTTP (microsomal triglyceride transfer protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025] |
