CETP

Metabolic System · Cholesterol & Lipoprotein Metabolism

What does CETP move between cholesterol-carrying particles?

CETP makes a protein that transfers cholesteryl esters from HDL to other lipoproteins. This exchange influences lipid distribution, so changing HDL levels is not the same question as proving a health benefit.

Common Gene Name: cholesteryl ester transfer protein
NCBI Gene ID: 1071
Chromosome: 16
