Disease

TTPA_HUMAN Defects in TTPA are the cause of ataxia with isolated vitamin E deficiency (AVED) [MIM:277460. AVED is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by spinocerebellar degeneration. It causes ataxia and peripheral neuropathy that resembles Friedreich ataxia. AVED patients have markedly reduced plasma levels of vitamin E.^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] ^[6]

Function

TTPA_HUMAN Binds alpha-tocopherol and enhances its transfer between separate membranes.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (alpha-TTP) is a liver protein responsible for the selective retention of alpha-tocopherol from dietary vitamin E, which is a mixture of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta-tocopherols and the corresponding tocotrienols. The alpha-TTP-mediated transfer of alpha-tocopherol into nascent VLDL is the major determinant of plasma alpha-tocopherol levels in humans. Mutations in the alpha-TTP gene have been detected in patients suffering from low plasma alpha-tocopherol and ataxia with isolated vitamin E deficiency (AVED). The crystal structure of alpha-TTP reveals two conformations. In its closed tocopherol-charged form, a mobile helical surface segment seals the hydrophobic binding pocket. In the presence of detergents, an open conformation is observed, which probably represents the membrane-bound form. The selectivity of alpha-TTP for RRR-alpha-tocopherol is explained from the van der Waals contacts occurring in the lipid-binding pocket. Mapping the known mutations leading to AVED onto the crystal structure shows that no mutations occur directly in the binding pocket.
