Human Transthyretin (TTR) complexed with genistein
Introduction
|
Human Transthyretin (TTR) is a gene that provides instructions for the producing of a protein called transthyretin. Transthyretin is composed of identical 127-aa sandwich subunits (shown in pink) that are produced primarily in the liver.
Overall Structure
|
Human transthyretin (TTR) is a 55 kDa homotetramer (or more precisely, a dimer of dimers) that transports thyroxine and retinol-binding protein in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid. The monomer consists of two four-stranded β-sheets, arranged in a tertiary structure.
