Summary

Enables apolipoprotein binding activity and lipid transfer activity. Involved in several processes, including Cholesterol homeostasis; lipoprotein metabolic process; and response to calcium ion. Located in several cellular components, including basolateral plasma membrane; cell projection membrane; and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Biomarker of familial hyperlipidemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome 1; abetalipoproteinemia; familial hypercholesterolemia; hyperinsulinism; and obesity. Orthologous to human MTTP (microsomal triglyceride transfer protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
