Sonic Hedgehog Is a Member of the Hh/DD-Peptidase Family That Spans the Eukaryotic and Bacterial Domains of Life. [PDF]

, 2018
Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) coordinates Zn2+ in a manner that resembles that of peptidases. The ability of Shh to undergo autoproteolytic processing is impaired in mutants that affect the Zn2+ coordination, while mutating residues essential for catalytic ...

Biochemical characterization of cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) has been identified as a novel target for increasing HDL cholesterol levels. In this report, we describe the biochemical characterization of anacetrapib, a potent inhibitor of CETP.

Cholesteryl esters in lymph chylomicrons: contribution from high density lipoprotein transferred from plasma into intestinal lymph

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
Most of the cholesterol in intestinal chyle and chylomicrons is derived from plasma. Our aim was to determine how much plasma low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) lipoproteins contribute to the cholesterol in chyle and chylomicrons, and to examine ...

Plasma Proteome Profiling of Patients With In-stent Restenosis by Tandem Mass Tag-Based Quantitative Proteomics Approach

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundDespite the widespread application of new drug-eluting stents, a considerable portion of patients experience in-stent restenosis (ISR). To date, the pathophysiologic mechanisms of ISR remain poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, we collected ...

Elevation of plasma phospholipid transfer protein in transgenic mice increases VLDL secretion

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
Two lipid transfer proteins are active in human plasma, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP). Mice by nature do not express CETP.

Inhibition of pancreatic cholesterol esterase reduces cholesterol absorption in the hamster [PDF]

, 2004
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cholesterol esterase has three proposed functions in the intestine: 1) to control the bioavailability of cholesterol from dietary cholesterol esters; 2) to contribute to incorporation of cholesterol into mixed micelles; and 3) to ...

Enhancing apolipoprotein A-I-dependent cholesterol efflux elevates cholesterol export from macrophages in vivo

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Eight proteins potentially involved in cholesterol efflux [ABCA1, ABCG1, CYP27A1, phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), scavenger receptor type BI (SR-BI), caveolin-1, cholesteryl ester transfer protein, and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I)] were ...
