Transthyretin (L55P) (1.0 mg) Human, Recombinant | T-510-10 | AlexoTech
Transthyretin (TTR), formerly known as prealbumin, is in vivo involved in the binding and transportation of the thyroxin hormone and retinol-binding protein. Mutations in TTR are associated with familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy (FAP) which is a fatal disease characterized by amyloid depositions found in visceral organs including the heart, liver and kidneys. TTR L55P is associated with a rare and highly aggressive form of FAP.
