CETP (cholesterol ester transfer protein) complexed with cholesterol esters interacts with an LDL (low density lipoprotein) particle, acquiring triacylglycerol molecules and donating cholesterol ester to the LDL (Swenson et al. 1988; Morton and Zilversmit 1983). This process is reversible but in the body proceeds in the direction annotated here. A model for the lipid exchange process has been proposed based on recent studies of the structure of CETP:lipid complexes (Qiu et al. 2007).

Apolipoprotein F (APOF) can be associated with HDLs and LDLs. It can inhibit cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity, thus inhibiting CETP-mediated transfer events specifically involving the LDL particle (Wang et al. 1999). The function of HDL-associated APOF, which represents >75% of the total plasma pool, is currently unknown. Although over-expression of mouse ApoF can accelerate plasma clearance of HDL (Lagor et al. 2009), physiological levels of ApoF do not affect HDL clearance (Lagor et al. 2012).

Apolipoprotein C-I (APOC1) is an Inhibitor of lipoproteins binding to their respective low density lipoprotein LDL receptor (LDLR), LDL receptor-related protein, and very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR). It directly binds circulating fatty acids therby inhibiting their cellular uptake and is also the major plasma inhibitor of CETP (Westerterp et al. 2007).
