QuickView for CETP (gene)

Gene Symbol:

CETP Homo sapiens

Full name:

cholesteryl ester transfer protein

Synonyms:

BPIFF, HDLCQ10, cholesteryl ester transfer protein, BPI fold containing family F, cholesteryl ester transfer protein plasma, lipid transfer protein I

Genomic Location:

Chr 16: 55553263-55575257

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is found in plasma, where it is involved in the transfer of cholesteryl ester from high density lipoprotein (HDL) to other lipoproteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of hyperalphalipoproteinemia 1 (HALP1). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
