  1. Transthyretin: the servant of many masters

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS 2009-07-31 Tau biomarkers

    Transthyretin (TTR) (formerly, thyroxine binding prealbumin) is an evolutionarily conserved serum and cerebrospinal fluid protein that transports holo-retinol-binding protein and thyroxine.

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 1997-10-01 Tau biomarkers

    The deposition of insoluble beta-amyloid protein fibrils is probably the central event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

  3. Transthyretin sequesters amyloid beta protein and prevents amyloid formation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 1994-08-01 Tau biomarkers
