We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein is a plasma glycoprotein which is implicated in the transport of cholesteryl esters from the atheroprotective high-density lipoproteins (HDL) to the atherogenic lower-density lipoproteins (LDL). The cristal structure of CETP at 2,2-Å resolution in complex with four bound lipid molecules shows a long tunnel which traverses the core of the molecule and has two distinct large openings allowing lipid access. This tunnel is plugged by an amphiphilic phosphatidylcholine at each end.
