Associations of TTPA with chemical compounds

  • OBJECTIVES: To perform a screening of the TTPA gene in the patient and to evaluate the effects of treatment with vitamin E on the patient's neurologic disturbances [9].
  • This is a neurodegenerative condition that involves a mutation in the tocopherol (alpha) transfer protein gene (TTPA) [13].
  • It is now possible to follow AO-alpha-tocopherol transfer from donor lipid vesicles composed of predominantly phosphatidylcholine (PC) to acceptor lipid vesicles containing PC and a quenching lipid NBD-PE (2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl]) [14].
  • The best recovery of refolded recombinant alpha-TTP fusion capable of binding alpha-tocopherol was provided by matrix-assisted refolding in the presence of 0.5 M arginine [15].
  • In contrast to beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherol, alpha-tocopherol is preferentially conserved by the discriminating action of the liver alpha-tocopherol transfer protein, which also maintains plasma alpha-tocopherol concentration within a range of 20 to 40 muM [16].
