| Full name | | microsomal triglyceride transfer protein |
| Aliases | | ,ABL,MGC149819,MGC149820,MTP, |
| Gene summary | | MTP encodes the large subunit of the heterodimeric microsomal triglyceride transfer protein. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) completes the heterodimeric microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, which has been shown to play a central role in lipoprotein assembly. Mutations in MTP can cause abetalipoproteinemia. [provided by RefSeq] |
