title: Structure-function relationship in the tocopherol transfer protein.
abstract: The role of specific amino acid residues in mediating the biochemical functions of tocopherol transfer protein (TTP) was investigated using site-directed mutagenesis and functional assays. These findings further current understanding of TTP mechanism of action and its role in human health.
