Biochemical Characterization of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter G1 Mediated Cholesterol Efflux
DownloadSpring 2012
ABCG1 mediates cholesterol efflux onto lipidated apolipoprotein A-I and plays an important role in macrophage reverse cholesterol transport, thereby preventing atherosclerosis. However, how ABCG1 mediates cholesterol efflux is unclear. We found that Cys514 located within the third putative...

ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 (ABCG1) mediates sterol efflux onto lipidated lipoproteins and plays an important role in macrophage cholesterol homeostasis. In this project, we investigated how ABCG1 works as a functional transporter to mediate sterol translocation. First, we found a...
