High impact information on PLTP

  • Plasma LCAT activity, as measured with exogenous substrate, and PLTP activity were both positively correlated with HDL3 phospholipid levels [1].
  • Activities of LCAT and PLTP were significantly correlated with cholesterol and phospholipid concentrations in LDL and HDL2 [1].
  • The purified protein (M(r) 38,000) was found to transfer phosphatidylinositol preferentially over phosphatidylcholine, like the PLTP from the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae [2].
 

Biological context of PLTP

  • Plasma LCAT and PLTP activities decreased by on average 19% and 33%, respectively, after parturition and then rose to values seen before parturition, but there was no effect of feeding regimen during the dry period [1].
