Lipid Transfer Protein-I LTP

Plasma lipid transfer proteins, which include the cholesteryl-ester-transfer-protein (CETP previously known as lipid transfer protein I, LTP-I) and the phospholipid-transfer-protein (PLTP previously known as lipid transfer protein II, LTP-II) mediate the transfer of lipids (cholesteryl esters, triglycerides and phospholipids) between lipoproteins present in human plasma. These proteins significantly affect plasma lipoprotein concentration and composition.
