About Ttr

Chromosome 18: 20,798,337-20,807,378 forward strand.GRCm39:CM001011.3

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 178 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 10 phenotypes. Biased expression in liver adult (RPKM 3655.3), liver E18 (RPKM 293.2) and 7 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a carrier protein responsible for the transport of thyroid Hormones and retinol. The protein consists of a tetramer of identical subunits. Due to increased stability of the tetramer form of this encoded protein in mouse, compared to the human protein, this gene product has a reduced tendency to form amyloid fibrils. In humans, this protein binds beta-amyloid preventing its aggregation and providing a neuroprotective role in Alzheimer's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
