PLTP - phospholipid transfer protein Gene
Also Known as BPIFE; HDLCQ9
Species: Homo sapiens
About PLTP
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 200 orthologues, 12 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Broad expression in placenta (RPKM 205.6), gall bladder (RPKM 89.3) and 21 other tissues.
Summary
The 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, Jul 2008]
