Description : |
Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) is a member of the lipid transfer/lipopolysaccharide binding protein gene family. CETP is plasma protein that transfers a cholesteryl ester from HDL to LDL or VLDL in exchange for a triglyceride. HDL plays an important role in lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. HDL transports cholesterol to the liver for excretion or to steroidogenic tissues for steroid synthesis. HDL also plays an important role in the reverse cholesterol transport pathway, removing cholesterol from lipid-filled macrophages, protecting against atherosclerosis. Because of this function, CETP is viewed as a target to increase HDL, with CETP inhibition an active area of research and several CETP inhibitors at various stages of drug development. |
