GO Classification
Functions
cholesterol binding / lipid binding / phosphatidylcholine binding / phospholipid transporter activity / triglyceride binding
Processes
cholesterol homeostasis / cholesterol metabolic process / cholesterol transport / high-density lipoprotein particle remodeling / lipid homeostasis / lipid transport / low-density lipoprotein particle remodeling / negative regulation of macrophage derived foam cell differentiation / phosphatidylcholine metabolic process / phospholipid homeostasis / regulation of cholesterol efflux / reverse cholesterol transport / triglyceride homeostasis / triglyceride metabolic process / triglyceride transport / very-low-density lipoprotein particle remodeling
Components
extracellular exosome / extracellular region / extracellular space / high-density lipoprotein particle / vesicle
General Function
Involved in the transfer of neutral lipids, including cholesteryl ester and triglyceride, among lipoprotein particles. Allows the net movement of cholesteryl ester from high density lipoproteins/HDL to triglyceride-rich very low density lipoproteins/VLDL, and the equimolar transport of triglyceride from VLDL to HDL (PubMed:24293641, PubMed:3281933, PubMed:3600759). Regulates the reverse cholesterol transport, by which excess cholesterol is removed from peripheral tissues and returned to the liver for elimination (PubMed:17237796)
