What is Cholesterol Ester Transfer Protein (CETP)?
Cholesterol Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) is a plasma protein that facilitates the transfer of cholesterol esters and triglycerides between the lipoproteins, such as high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL). CETP plays a crucial role in the regulation of cholesterol levels and thereby impacts cardiovascular health.
