Summary: This gene encodes a carrier protein responsible for the transport of thyroid hormones and retinol. The protein consists of a tetramer of identical subunits. Due to increased stability of the tetramer form of this encoded protein in mouse, compared to the human protein, this gene product has a reduced tendency to form amyloid fibrils. In humans, this protein binds beta-amyloid preventing its aggregation and providing a neuroprotective role in Alzheimer's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

Knockdown of Ttr in cultured cerebellar granule neurons significantly decreased the delta receptor expression; whereas overexpressing Ttr in cortical neurons increased the delta receptor expression. In vivo analysis of Ttr-/- mice revealed a significant decrease of the surface expression of the delta-GABAA-Rs in cerebellar granule neurons. Together, studies identified Ttr as a novel regulator of the delta-GABAA-Rs.

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.
