Miller, Galen W., Ulatowski, Lynn, Labut, Edwin M., Lebold, Katie M., Manor, Danny, Atkinson, Jeffrey, Barton, Carrie L., Tanguay, Robert L., and Traber, Maret G.

Abstract:

The hepatic α-tocopherol transfer protein (TTP) is required for optimal α-tocopherol bioavailability in humans; mutations in the human TTPA gene result in the heritable disorder ataxia with vitamin E deficiency (AVED, OMIM #277460). TTP is also expressed in mammalian uterine and placental cells and in the human embryonic yolk-sac, underscoring...
