This gene encodes transthyretin, one of the three prealbumins including alpha-1-antitrypsin, transthyretin and orosomucoid. Transthyretin is a carrier protein; it transports thyroid hormones in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, and also transports retinol (vitamin A) in the plasma. The protein consists of a tetramer of identical subunits. More than 80 different mutations in this gene have been reported; most mutations are related to amyloid deposition, affecting predominantly peripheral nerve and/or the heart, and a small portion of the gene mutations is non-amyloidogenic. The diseases caused by mutations include amyloidotic polyneuropathy, euthyroid hyperthyroxinaemia, amyloidotic vitreous opacities, cardiomyopathy, oculoleptomeningeal amyloidosis, meningocerebrovascular amyloidosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.
Transthyretin (TTR) is a plasma transport protein for thyroxine and retinol,through the association with retinol-binding protein. It is a homotetrameric protein synthesized mainly in liver,choroid plexus,retinal pigment epithelium,and pancreas.Within the CNS,TTR is the only known protein synthesized solely by the choroid plexus. Mutant and wildtype TTR give rise to various forms of amyloid deposition (amyloidosis). Defects in TTR are the cause of amyloidosis transthyretin-related (AMYL-TTR),hyperthyroxinemia dystransthyretinemic euthyroidal (HTDE) and carpal tunnel syndrome type 1 (CTS1). In addition,positive immunostaining for TTR has been reported as a sensitive diagnostic marker of choroid plexus tumors. (22103483)
