A novel mechano‐enzymatic cleavage mechanism underlies transthyretin amyloidogenesis

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2015
The mechanisms underlying transthyretin‐related amyloidosis in vivo remain unclear. The abundance of the 49–127 transthyretin fragment in ex vivo deposits suggests that a proteolytic cleavage has a crucial role in destabilizing the tetramer and releasing

Proteomic analysis of plasma proteins of high-flux haemodialysis and on-line haemodiafiltration patients reveals differences in transthyretin levels related with anaemia

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
A large proportion of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients under long-term haemodialysis, have persistent anaemia and require high doses of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO).

Genetic and Clinical Spectrum of Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis in Brazil. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Peripher Nerv Syst
ABSTRACT Background Transthyretin hereditary amyloidosis (ATTRv) clinical variability has been widely reported, not only across countries and variants but also among families and distinct regions within a single nation. One of the principal challenges in disease management is the accurate determination of age of onset (AOO), which is heterogeneous and ...

Evolutionary changes to transthyretin: evolution of transthyretin biosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, 2009
Thyroid hormones are involved in growth and development, particularly of the brain. Thus, it is imperative that these hormones get from their site of synthesis to their sites of action throughout the body and the brain. This role is fulfilled by thyroid hormone distributor proteins.

Management of transthyretin amyloidosis

open access: yesSwiss medical weekly, 2021
Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR amyloidosis) is a disease caused by deposition of transthyretin fibrils in organs and tissues, which causes their dysfunction. The clinical heterogeneity of ATTR amyloidosis and the variable presentation of symptoms at early disease stages, historically meant treatment delays. Diagnostic tools and therapy options of ATTR
