- Background
- CETP (Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Plasma), is a plasma protein that facilitates the transport of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between the lipoproteins. CETP is also known as lipid transfer protein I (Day et al., 1994). Sparkes et al. (1987) used a CETP probe against DNA from a human/mouse somatic cell hybrid panel to assign the CETP gene to chromosome 16. Because the role of CETP in atherosclerosis remained unclear, Okamoto et al. (2000) attempted to develop a potent, specific CETP inhibitor. One inhibitor, JTT-705, forms a disulfide bond with CETP and increases high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, decreases non-HDL cholesterol, and inhibits the progression of atherosclerosis in rabbits.

- Function
- Involved in the transfer of neutral lipids, including cholesteryl ester and triglyceride, among lipoprotein particles. Allows the net movement of cholesteryl ester from high density lipoproteins/HDL to triglyceride-rich very low density lipoproteins/VLDL, and the equimolar transport of triglyceride from VLDL to HDL (PubMed:3600759, PubMed:24293641). Regulates the reverse cholesterol transport, by which excess cholesterol is removed from peripheral tissues and returned to the liver for elimination (PubMed:17237796). .
