General description

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a hydrophobic glycoprotein. It is released mostly from the liver. CETP is present in normal human plasma. The CETP gene is mapped to human chromosome 16q13. It has 16 exons, that spans around 25 kb. The mature CETP consists of four N-linked sugars with a variable glycosylation site.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) transfers neutral lipids from high-density lipoproteins (HDL) to very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). CETP plays an important role in lipoprotein metabolism and influences the reverse cholesterol transport pathway. Recombinant CETP is partially purified from CHO cells overexpressing the full-length human protein. This recombinant protein is active, and is useful as a source of CETP for mass or activity assays, high-throughput screening, or for performing structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies on inhibitor compounds.
