Variants of the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein gene are associated with plasma cholesterol levels and body mass index.
The microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is required for the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins from liver and intestine.
