A common functional polymorphism in the promoter region of the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein gene influences plasma LDL levels.
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is required for the assembly and cellular secretion of apolipoprotein B (apoB) -containing lipoproteins from the liver and intestine. The secretion pattern of apoB-containing lipoproteins is likely to influence the VLDL and LDL levels in plasma. By init...
