== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: MTP encodes the large subunit of the heterodimeric microsomal triglyceride transfer protein. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) completes the heterodimeric microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, which has been shown to play a central role in lipoprotein assembly. Mutations in MTP can cause abetalipoproteinemia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
* **UniProt Summary**: Catalyzes the transport of triglyceride, cholesteryl ester, and phospholipid between phospholipid surfaces (PubMed:23475612, PubMed:8939939, PubMed:26224785, PubMed:25108285, PubMed:22236406). Required for the secretion of plasma lipoproteins that contain apolipoprotein B (PubMed:23475612, PubMed:8939939, PubMed:26224785). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22236406, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23475612, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25108285, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26224785, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8939939}.
