ABSTRACT:
Isolated polynucleotide molecules encoding mammalian phospholipid transfer proteins (PLTP) and phospholipid transfer protein polypeptides are disclosed. The DNA molecules are transformed or transfected into host cells and the cells cultured to produce recombinant PLTP and PLTP polypeptides. PLTP and PLTP polypeptides may be combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle and administered to patients to regulate phospholipid transfer activity and thereby obtain a more favorable lipoprotein profile in the blood. The proteins and polypeptides may also be used within methods to measure phospholipid transfer activity or identify inhibitors of phospholipid transfer activity.
