==Introduction==


[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterylester_transfer_protein Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein] is a plasma glycoprotein which is implicated in the transport of cholesteryl esters from the atheroprotective high-density lipoproteins (HDL) to the atherogenic lower-density lipoproteins (LDL). The cristal structure of CETP at 2,2-Å resolution in complex with four bound lipid molecules shows a long tunnel which traverses the core of the molecule and has two distinct large openings allowing lipid access. This tunnel is plugged by an amphiphilic phosphatidylcholine at each end.

Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein is a plasma glycoprotein which is implicated in the transport of cholesteryl esters from the atheroprotective high-density lipoproteins (HDL) to the atherogenic lower-density lipoproteins (LDL). The cristal structure of CETP at 2,2-Å resolution in complex with four bound lipid molecules shows a long tunnel which traverses the core of the molecule and has two distinct large openings allowing lipid access. This tunnel is plugged by an amphiphilic phosphatidylcholine at each end.
