CETP is a 476 amino acid residues protein which has an elongated “boomerang shape” with dimensions of 135A° X 30 A°X 35A°. She | CETP is a 476 amino acid residues protein which has an elongated “boomerang shape” with dimensions of 135A° X 30 A°X 35A°. She has a molecular mass of 74 kDa and 28% of this mass is attributed to N-glycosylation at specific residues: 88, 240, 341 and 396. | ||
She also has a fold which is homologous to BPI (a protein which is implicated in lipid binding): two similar domains are connected by a linker. | She also has a fold which is homologous to BPI (a protein which is implicated in lipid binding): two similar domains are connected by a linker. | ||
