Gene Protein Transcript Promoter Expression GO/PPI PubMed Cross reference

Gene information for PLTP (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5360
Official gene symbolPLTP
Full namephospholipid transfer protein
Aliases,HDLCQ9,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is one of at least two lipid transfer proteins found in human plasma. The encoded protein transfers phospholipids from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins to high density lipoprotein (HDL). In addition to regulating the size of HDL particles, this protein may be involved in cholesterol metabolism. At least two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
