Mechanisms
A review by the LTIP discoverer surveys how CETP expression, atherogenesis and lipid transfer inhibitor protein activity interconnect (Curr Opin Lipidol 1999)
Original title: Cholesteryl ester transfer protein and its plasma regulator: lipid transfer inhibitor protein
This review examines the interconnections between cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) expression and lipid metabolism, and the possible roles of CETP in atherogenesis. The importance of lipid transfer inhibitor protein (LTIP) in modulating CETP activity is detailed, along with the proposed consequences of this inhibitory activity on CETP-mediated events.
