Biochim Biophys Acta 1995, 1258:27-34. The primary structure of mouse PLTP and the tissue distribution of mouse and human PLTP mRNA are described. Human and mouse PLTP were shown to convert human and mouse HDL to larger and smaller particles.

Lipopolysaccharide was shown to significantly decrease phospholipid transfer activity and PLTP mRNA while a high fat, high cholesterol diet increased phospholipid transfer activity and PLTP mRNA in mice.

The putative promoter region of the human PLTP gene was sequenced and characterized. A minimal promotor of 159 bp is primarily responsible for the functional activity.
