Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CTEP) facilitates the transfer of cholesterol esters from HDL to LDL particles, decreasing HDL and increasing LDL cholesterol.

“there's also ways it can get contents on board through we're just going to add just a little geekier now and something you'll hear about from time to time called CET P which is cholesterol ester transfer proteins which is kind of like a bridge between HDL and very low density lipoproteins or low density lipoproteins and they'll do like exchange of contents and a whole bunch of stuff”

“HDL has this bode but a PO D is better known as cholesterol ester transfer protein it really ought to be called cholesterol ester triglyceride transfer protein C ETP so we're going to talk about a C teppan hit or in a moment because it's gonna stop that process the lipoproteins can't exchange the particles anymore”

“what CTP does is a very simple thing is it grabs a cholesterol Ester molecule from HDL from an HDL particle CTP sits on the HDL particle like a little cap it's a curved protein that sits on top of a sphere and it has an opening and it sucks a cholesterol molecule out of HDL then that particle collides with an LDL particle and there's a little tunnel and it spits the cholesterol Ester molecule straight into LDL so the consequence of that is is that HDL cholesterol goes down and ldlkaliso goes up”
