MTTP wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**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.
