- Non-significant
- Population
- Japanese
- Study Design
- Polymorphisms (mutations in intron 14 and exon 15, and Taq1B) were examined in 256 centenarians and 190 healthy younger controls (22-65 years old)
- Conclusions
- The allelic frequencies did not differ between the two groups
- HGNC symbol
- CETP
- Aliases
- BPIFF; HDLCQ10
- Common name
- cholesteryl ester transfer protein
- Description
- 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 transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2013]
