TM6SF2 binds cholesterol, interacts with apolipoprotein B, and promotes hepatic lipid secretion
A missense variant in TM6SF2 (transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2, TM6SF2E167K) is a major risk factor for steatotic liver disease1, while protecting against coronary artery disease2. TM6SF2 is a polytopic resident protein of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ER-Golgi intermediate compartment that promotes lipidation of hepatic ApoB-containing lipoproteins before secretion into the…
