Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1071
Gene name Cholesteryl ester transfer protein
Gene symbol CETP
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
BPIFFHDLCQ10
Chromosome 16
Chromosome location 16q13
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is found in plasma, where it is involved in the transfer of cholesteryl ester from high density lipoprotein (HDL) to other lipoproteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of hyperalphalipoproteinemia 1 (HALP1). Two transcri
