MTTP - microsomal triglyceride transfer protein
Function
Catalyzes the transport of triglyceride, cholesteryl ester, and phospholipid between phospholipid surfaces (PubMed:23475612, PubMed:8939939, PubMed:26224785, PubMed:25108285, PubMed:22236406, PubMed:16478722, PubMed:15897609, PubMed:8876250). Required for the assembly and secretion of plasma lipoproteins that contain apolipoprotein B (PubMed:23475612, PubMed:8939939, PubMed:26224785, PubMed:8876250, PubMed:16478722). May be involved in regulating cholesteryl ester biosynthesis in cells that produce lipoproteins (By similarity).
