Role of plasma phospholipid transfer protein in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism
2012, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular and Cell Biology of LipidsCitation Excerpt :Indeed, all these proteins have the ability to bind and transfer LPS and phospholipids [4,5]. The PLTP gene is localized on chromosome 20q12-13.1 [6], near the site for LBP and BPI (20q11.23). So far, studies have confirmed that PLTP gene expression is regulated by sterols, glucose and fenofibrates and the PLTP promoter is responsive to regulation through LXR/FXR and PPAR-dependent mechanisms [7–9].
Phospholipid transfer protein and atherosclerosis
2003, Advances in Molecular and Cell BiologyCitation Excerpt :It has an open reading frame of 1518 bases and encodes a mature protein of 476 amino acids. The gene has been mapped to human chromosome 20 [7] or mouse chromosome 2 [8]. It has 16 exons and spans approximately 13.3 kb [9].
