Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes cholesteryl ester transfer protein (gene CETP) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 54.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 75 kDa.
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma glycoprotein that moves cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between lipoprotein particles. It shifts cholesteryl esters from HDL to VLDL and LDL in exchange for triglycerides, so it is a central topic in lipoprotein metabolism and cardiovascular research.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Human) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human hcct tissue, human HeLa cells, human Jurkat cells, rat liver tissue, rat PC-12 cells, mouse liver tissue, mouse RAW264.7 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human appendicitis tissue, human gastric cancer tissue, human intestinal cancer tissue, human mammary cancer tissue, human ovarian cancer tissue, human placenta tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in citrate buffer (pH 6).
Immunogen
Recombinant human CETP fragment (His77–Lys353), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt describes cholesteryl ester transfer protein as a secreted protein. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
