What Does TTP Stand For?
TTP stands for Tocopherol Transfer Protein
Tocopherol Transfer Protein (TTP) is a specialized protein that facilitates the transfer of tocopherols, which are a form of vitamin E, between cellular membranes and lipid droplets. TTP plays a crucial role in the regulation of vitamin E levels within cells, influencing its bioavailability and antioxidant properties. This protein is essential for maintaining adequate tocopherol distribution in tissues, thereby supporting various physiological functions, including protection against oxidative stress and maintaining cellular integrity.
