Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody to CETP

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a circulating metabolic enzyme that transports cholesterol from the arteries to the liver. CETP converts cholesteryl esters from antiatherogenic high density lipoproteins (HDLs) to proatherogenicapolipoprotein B (apoB)~containing lipoproteins, including very low~, intermediate~, and low~DLs. Efficient transfer and exchange of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between the lipoprotein classes of human plasma is necessary to maintain healthy arteries.
