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).,
