Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (UniProt P22687; also known as CETP, Lipid transfer protein I, LTP) is encoded by the CETP (also known as HDLCQ10) gene (Gene ID 1071) in Oryctolagus cuniculus (Rabbit) species. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) or lipid transfer protein (LTP) mediates the transport/exhanges of triglycerides and cholesteryl esters (CEs) between very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL)/low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in both directions. CETP plays an important role in the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) pathway that mediates the transport of cholesterol from peripheral cells and tissues to the liver for metabolism and excretion in the bile. CETP shuttles CEs from HDL particles to apolipoprotein B-/apoB-containing particles in exchange for triglycerides. CETP is thought to facilitate the generation of small, dense LDL (sd LDL) particles through an indirect mechanism of increased rate of triglyceride transfer from VLDL in exchange for CEs in LDL and HDL. CE transfer between lipoproteins plays a crucial role in intravascular LDL remodeling. Decreased levels of HDL cholesterol and elevated levels of LDL is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD).，官网链接：https://www.sigmaaldrich.cn/product/mm/mabs1220 默克 科研、开发、生产。 作为生命科学行业的全球领先供应商，我们致力于为科研、生物技术开发和生产，以及制药药物疗法开发和生产提供各类解决方案和服务。
