UNII X4S83CP54E - LOMITAPIDE MESYLATE
 

Lomitapide is a selective inhibitor of microsomal transfer protein (MTP), an intracellular lipid-transfer protein that is found in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and is responsible for binding and shuttling individual lipid molecules between membranes. MTP plays a key role in the assembly of apo B containing lipoproteins in the liver and intestines. Inhibition of MTP reduces lipoprotein secretion and circulating concentrations of lipoprotein-borne lipids including cholesterol and triglycerides.
