Disease relevance of PLTP

The effects of APG on the hemolysis and phospholipid transfer were compared with the results for the concanavalin A- and amphotericin B-treated viruses [1].

High impact information on PLTP

A phospholipid transfer protein was purified from chicken liver which, in addition to phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), carries sphingomyelin (SM) between membranes [2].
Estrogen treatment increases phospholipid transfer activities in chicken liver [3].
