Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), which binds phospholipids and facilitates their transfer between lipoproteins in plasma, plays a key role in lipoprotein remodeling, but its influence on nascent high-density lipoprotein (HDL) formation is not known. The effect of PLTP overexpression on apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) lipidation by primary mouse hepatocytes was investigated.
