Expression of CETP and of splice variants induces the same level of ER stress despite secretion efficiency differences

Expression of CETP and of splice variants induces the same level of ER stress despite secretion efficiency differences

The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene has been associated with a variety of phenotypes, including HDL-cholesterol levels and, more sporadically, with cardiovascular disease, obesity, and extreme longevity. Alterations of CETP activity levels can be caused by single-base polymorphisms as...
