Plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein.
The plasma lipoproteins are continuously remodeled during their transit through the plasma compartment, owing to the action of lipid metabolizing enzymes and lipid transfer processes. These activities have a major effect on the composition, size, and concentration of the lipoproteins. Lipid transfer processes involving neutral lipids and phospholipids are mediated by specialized plasma proteins...
متن کاملTransfer of cholesteryl ester into high density lipoprotein by cholesteryl ester transfer protein: effect of HDL lipid and apoprotein content.
Recombinant high density lipoprotein (rHDL) particles were prepared by cosonication of purified lipids and human apoproteins and incubated with partly purified cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) containing [3H]cholesteryl ester. Increasing the triglyceride content relative to cholesteryl ester in rHDL significantly decreased the ability of the particles ...
متن کاملPlasma concentrations of cholesteryl ester transfer protein in hyperlipoproteinemia. Relation to cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity and other lipoprotein variables.
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates an important pathway for reverse cholesterol transport. Concentrations of CETP in fasting plasma were measured by radioimmunoassay in two different groups of hyperlipoproteinemic subjects. Plasma CETP concentrations measured by radioimmunoassay correlated closely with cholesterol ester transfer activity in normal plasma (r = 0.86). In the first...
متن کاملStructural and biophysical insight into cholesteryl ester-transfer protein.
CETP (cholesteryl ester-transfer protein) is essential for neutral lipid transfer between HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and plays a critical role in the reverse cholesterol transfer pathway. In clinical trials, CETP inhibitors increase HDL levels and reduce LDL levels, and therefore may be used as a potential treatment for atherosclerosis. In this review, we c...
متن کاملImmunospecific scintillation proximity assay of cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity.
We describe a novel, immunospecific scintillation proximity assay for determining cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity in total human serum and in reconstituted experimental mixtures. The assay is based on the measurement of radiolabeled cholesteryl esters transferred from a tracer dose of biosynthetically labeled high-density lipoprotein subfraction 3 to unlabeled apolipoprotein ...
