Recombinant Rabbit Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP), N-His

Rabbit Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) is a plasma glycoprotein that facilitates the transfer of cholesteryl esters from high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). This process is crucial for lipid metabolism and cholesterol homeostasis. In rabbits, CETP plays a significant role in modulating HDL and LDL levels, which are important for cardiovascular health. CETP activity can influence the risk of atherosclerosis, as it affects the distribution of cholesterol among different lipoprotein fractions. Additionally, CETP inhibitors have been studied for their potential to increase HDL levels and reduce LDL levels, which may have therapeutic benefits for treating dyslipidemia and preventing cardiovascular diseases. In research settings, CETP is also used as a biomarker to study lipid metabolism and cardiovascular disease mechanisms.
