Disease relevance of MTP

  • Previous studies showing that the proximal cause of abetalipoproteinemia is an absence of MTP indicate that MTP function is required for the assembly of the apolipoprotein B (apoB) containing plasma lipoproteins, i.e., very low density lipoproteins and chylomicrons [1].
  • However, the lack of correlation between MTP activity, mass, or mRNA with either liver TG or plasma NEFA on d 2 postpartum suggests that MTP probably does not play a role in the etiology of fatty liver that occurs in dairy cows at calving [2].
 

High impact information on MTP

  • The similarity of the IC50 for inhibition of bovine MTP-mediated TG transfer (0.6 microM) to the Kd for binding of BMS-200150 to bovine MTP (1.3 microM) strongly supports that the inhibition of TG transfer is the result of a direct effect of the compound on MTP [1].
  • The microsomal triglyceride (TG) transfer protein (MTP) is a heterodimeric lipid transfer protein that catalyzes the transport of triglyceride, cholesteryl ester, and phosphatidylcholine between membranes [1].
  • LDL bound to LPL with high affinity (K(d) values of 10(-12) m) similar to that observed for the binding of LDL to its receptors and 1D1, a monoclonal antibody to LDL, and was greater than its affinity for microsomal triglyceride transfer protein [3].
  • Addition of one acyl chain from diglyceride to triglyceride, lysophosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylcholine, or cholesterol to cholesteryl ester increased the rate of MTP-mediated transport 10-fold [4].
  • When the triolein content of the vesicles was increased up to 4 mol %, neutral lipid binding to MTP increased proportionately, while phosphatidylcholine binding appeared to remain constant around two molecules per MTP [5].
