Description: Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Plasma, is a plasma protein that facilitates the transport of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between the lipoproteins. CETP is also known as lipid transfer protein I(Day et al., 1994). Sparkes et al.(1987) used a CETP probe against DNA from a human/mouse somatic cell hybrid panel to assign the gene to chromosome 16. Because the role of CETP in atherosclerosis remained unclear, Okamoto et al.(2000) attempted to develop a potent, specific inhibitor. One inhibitor, JTT-705, forms a disulfide bond with CETP and increases high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, decreases non-HDL cholesterol, and inhibits the progression of atherosclerosis in rabbits.
Immunogen: An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Plasma (PRPDQQHSVAYTFEE) was used as the immunogen for this CETP antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the CETP antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
