CETP Antibody

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.
