Organization of the human cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene
1 Feb 1990
Abstract excerpt
The plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) catalyzes the transfer of phospholipids and neutral lipids between the lipoproteins. Thus, this protein may be important in modulating lipoprotein levels in the plasma. We have determined the primary structure and organization of the human CETP gene. Southern blotting of cellular DNA indicated a single copy of the CETP gene exists per haploid genome. Analysis...
