Reference Gene

Gene name Alias Species Exons Type Paralogs EC number OMIM
CETP cholesteryl ester transfer protein BPIFF , HDLCQ10 Homo sapiens 17 protein-coding 118470

Summary

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. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2013]
