[TTV-derived apoptosis-inducing protein; Torque tenovirus-derived apoptosis-inducing protein] This protein is encoded in the genome of TT virus (TTV). The protein shows similarities to chicken anaemia virus Apoptin. The protein causes cell death by apoptosis in several hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines but only low level apoptosis in non cancer cell lines (Kooistra et al, 2004; for overview see also: de Smit and Noteborn, 2009).
