Improving Recognition and Diagnosis
of ATTR-CA
ret
Transthyretin (TTR) is a protein
primarily synthesized in the liver
+ In the serum, TTR serves as the primary transport
protein for vitamin A via the retinol-binding protein, =, It was previously known as
and is a minor carrier for thyroxine? thyroxine-binding prealbumin?
+ TTR is also made in the choroid plexus, where itis, TTR is a sensitive indicator of
secreted into the CSF and serves as the primary malnutrition and illness, as it
transport protein for thyroxin and retinol? disappears at a rate of baut 50%
- TTR is made in small amounts elsewhere per day from the circulation?
