[Advances on the research of the relationship between cholesteryl ester transfer protein and atherosclerosis].
Plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the transfer of cholesteryl ester (CE) from high density lipoprotein (HDL) to apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins. It plays a critical role in reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). Genetic CETP deficiency is the main cause of HALP. Mass research results demonstrate that Genetic CETP deficiency is relative to atherosclerosis. The current review focused on the relationship between cholesteryl ester transfer protein and atherosclerosis.
