Summary: Enables cholesterol transfer activity; phosphatidylethanolamine transfer activity; and triglyceride transfer activity. Involved in circadian rhythm. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; lipoprotein transport; and low-density lipoprotein particle remodeling. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; liver; placenta; septum transversum hepatic component; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including abetalipoproteinemia; familial hypercholesterolemia; hyperinsulinism; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; and obesity. Orthologous to human MTTP (microsomal triglyceride transfer protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
