'''Cholesteryl ester transfer protein''' ('''CETP'''), also called '''plasma lipid transfer protein''', is a [[blood plasma|plasma]] [[protein]] that facilitates the transport of [[cholesteryl ester]]s and [[triglyceride]]s between the [[lipoprotein]]s. It collects triglycerides from [[Very-low-density lipoprotein|very-low-density]] (VLDL) or [[low-density lipoprotein]]s (LDL) and exchanges them for cholesteryl esters from [[high-density lipoprotein]]s (HDL), and vice versa. Most of the time, however, CETP does a heteroexchange, trading a triglyceride for a cholesteryl ester or a cholesteryl ester for a triglyceride.

'''Cholesteryl ester transfer protein''' (CETP) (also called '''plasma lipid transfer protein''') is a [[blood plasma|plasma]] [[protein]] that facilitates the transport of [[cholesteryl ester]]s and [[triglyceride]]s between the [[lipoprotein]]s. It collects triglycerides from [[Very low density lipoprotein|very low density]] or [[low density lipoprotein]]s (VLDL or LDL) and exchanges them for cholesteryl esters from [[high density lipoprotein]]s (and vice versa). Most of the time, however, CETP does a homoexchange- trading a triglyceride for a triglyceride or a cholesteryl ester for a cholesteryl ester.

CETP contains two of these domains that interact head-to-head via an interface made of 6 [[Beta sheet|beta-sheets]], 3 from each [[protomer]]. The same fold is shared by Bacterial Permeability Inducing proteins (examples: [[BPIFB1|BPIFP1]] [[BPI fold-containing family B member 2|BPIFP2]] [[BPIFA3]] and [[BPIFB4]]), phospholipid transfer protein ([[PLTP|PLTP)]], and long-Palate Lung, and Nasal Epithelium protein [[Plunc|(L-PLUNC)]].

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), also called plasma lipid transfer protein, is a plasma protein that facilitates the transport of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between the lipoproteins. It collects triglycerides from very-low-density (VLDL) or low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and exchanges them for cholesteryl esters from high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and vice versa. Most of the time, however, CETP does a heteroexchange, trading a triglyceride for a cholesteryl ester or a cholesteryl ester for a triglyceride.

Genetics

The CETP gene is located on the sixteenth chromosome (16q21).

Protein Fold

The crystal structure of CETP is that of dimer of two TUbular LIPid (TULIP) binding domains.[1][2] Each domain consists of a core of 6 elements: 4 beta-sheets forming an extended superhelix; 2 flanking elements that tend to include some alpha helix. The sheets wrap around the helices to produce a cylinder 6 x 2.5 x 2.5 nm. CETP contains two of these domains that interact head-to-head via an interface made of 6 beta-sheets, 3 from each protomer. The same fold is shared by Bacterial Permeability Inducing proteins (examples: BPIFP1 BPIFP2 BPIFA3 and BPIFB4), phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), and long-Palate Lung, and Nasal Epithelium protein (L-PLUNC). The fold is similar to intracellular SMP domains,[3] and originated in bacteria.[4][5][6] The crystal structure of CETP has been obtained with bound CETP inhibitors.[7] However, this has not resolved the doubt over whether CETP function as a lipid tube or shuttle.[8]

Role in disease

Rare mutations leading to reduced function of CETP have been linked to accelerated atherosclerosis.[9] In contrast, a polymorphism (I405V) of the CETP gene leading to lower serum levels has also been linked to exceptional longevity [10] and to metabolic response to nutritional intervention.[11] However, this mutation also increases the prevalence of coronary heart disease in patients with hypertriglyceridemia.[12] The D442G mutation, which lowers CETP levels and increases HDL levels also increases coronary heart disease.[9]

Elaidic acid, a major component of trans fat, increases CETP activity.[13]

Pharmacology

As HDL can alleviate atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases, and certain disease states such as the metabolic syndrome feature low HDL, pharmacological inhibition of CETP is being studied as a method of improving HDL levels.[14] To be specific, in a 2004 study, the small molecular agent torcetrapib was shown to increase HDL levels, alone and with a statin, and lower LDL when co-administered with a statin.[15] Studies into cardiovascular endpoints, however, were largely disappointing. While they confirmed the change in lipid levels, most reported an increase in blood pressure, no change in atherosclerosis,[16][17] and, in a trial of a combination of torcetrapib and atorvastatin, an increase in cardiovascular events and mortality.[18]

A compound related to torcetrapib, Dalcetrapib (investigative name JTT-705/R1658), was also studied, but trials have ceased.[19] It increases HDL levels by 30%, as compared to 60% by torcetrapib.[20] Two CETP inhibitors were previously under development. One was Merck's MK-0859 anacetrapib, which in initial studies did not increase blood pressure.[21] In 2017, its development was abandoned by Merck.[22] The other was Eli Lilly's evacetrapib, which failed in Phase 3 trials.
