CETP, Official Symbol CETPprovided by HGNC Official Full Name cholesteryl ester transfer proteinprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:1869 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000087237 MIM:118470; AllianceGenome:HGNC:1869 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as BPIFF; HDLCQ10 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.
