NCIt synonyms : Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein (Large Polypeptide, 88kD) Gene; MTP, Large Subunit Gene; Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein wt Allele; Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein, 88-kD Gene; MTP; ABL; Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein (Large Polypeptide, 88kDa) Gene;
NCIt definition : Human MTTP wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 4q24 and is approximately
60 kb in length. This allele, which encodes microsomal triglyceride transfer protein
large subunit protein, is involved in triglyceride, cholesteryl ester, and phospholipid
transport. Mutation of the gene is associated with abetalipoproteinemia.;
