HDLBP
Description
The HDLBP gene (High-Density Lipoprotein Binding Protein) plays a crucial role in cholesterol metabolism, particularly in the transport and regulation of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), often referred to as "good cholesterol." This gene encodes a protein that binds to HDL, facilitating its uptake by cells and its subsequent processing. Variations in the HDLBP gene can influence HDL levels and potentially impact cardiovascular health.
