cholesteryl ester transfer protein

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP),
a plasma glycoprotein that plays a role in the movement of cholesterol from the peripheral tissue to the liver by mediating the transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL cholesterol to apolipoprotein B-containing proteins, which are then metabolized to lipoproteins that are removed from the circulation by receptors in the liver. Deficiency of this protein, an autosomal-dominant trait, results in markedly higher plasma levels of HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I. Also called lipid transfer p. I.
