Human TTR is a 54 kDa homo-tetramer, described as a dimer of dimer, rich in β-sheet. It is composed of 127 amino acids assembled around the central channel of the protein, resulting in a 222 symmetry protein. This tetramer contains a channel divided into two symmetry-related L-T4-binding sites. | Human TTR is a 54 kDa homo-tetramer, described as a dimer of dimer, rich in β-sheet.
