描述 转甲状腺素(TTR)是一种载体蛋白,能够在血浆和脑脊液中运输甲状腺激素,并在血浆中运输视黄醇(维生素a)。TTR可以形成异常的不溶性淀粉样纤维,主要沉积在患者的心脏、外周神经或两者中。该野生型蛋白与老年系统性淀粉样变性(SSA)有关,通常在70岁以上的男性中诊断。TTR的单突变或双突变主要与家族性淀粉样蛋白多发性神经病(FAP)或家族性淀粉状蛋白心脏病(FAC)有关,后者影响年轻患者,通常在30多岁。TTR淀粉样变性的临床症状历来归因于原纤维,但最近的实验证据表明可溶性TTR聚集体也具有致病性。 Transthyretin (TTR) is a carrier protein capable of transporting thyroid hormones in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, and retinol (vitamin A) in the plasma. TTR can form aberrant, insoluble amyloid fibrils that primarily deposit in a patient's heart, peripheral nerves, or both. The wild-type protein is associated with senile systemic amyloidosis (SSA) and is typically diagnosed in men over 70-years-old. Single or double mutations in TTR are primarily associated with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) or familial amyloid cardiopathy (FAC) which affects younger patients, often in their 30s. Clinical symptoms of TTR amyloidosis have historically been attributed to fibrils, but recent experimental evidence indicates that soluble TTR aggregates are also pathogenic.
