Abstract:
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is a key transfer protein in lipid metabolism and is mainly expressed in the hepatocytes and enterocytes.It plays an important role in transferring triglyceride as well as in assembly and secretion of very low density lipoprotein.Recent studies have shown that MTP is closely related to the onset and development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
