This Human PLTP recombinant protein was produced in E.coli, where the gene sequence encoding Human PLTP (18-493aa) was expressed with the N-terminal GST tag. The purity of this PLTP protein was greater than 90% by SDS-PAGE.One of the primary functions of PLTP is to facilitate the transfer of different categories of lipids, such as phospholipids and triglycerides, between various lipid carriers. Specifically, it promotes lipid transfer between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is essential for maintaining lipid balance in the bloodstream. PLTP plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. It helps clear excess cholesterol from the body and facilitates the return of cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver, contributing to cardiovascular health. Additionally, PLTP is involved in the repair and maintenance of cell membranes, which is essential for preserving cell integrity.Aberrant activity or expression of PLTP is associated with some diseases. For instance, insufficient PLTP activity can lead to disruptions in cholesterol metabolism, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, PLTP is linked to the pathogenesis of conditions like obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[168834,18],"product_tag":[45408],"class_list":["post-112025","product","type-product","status-publish","product_cat-proteins","product_cat-recombinant-proteins","product_tag-pltp","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
