Abstract excerpt
The role of human macrophage scavenger receptor A1 (SRA1) in the development of atherosclerotic lesions is still scarcely defined. Substituting serine 48 in human SRA1 by an aspartate demonstrated that (1) surface expression of the mutated receptor was 13-fold decreased; (2) the amount of cell-associated Texas red-labeled acetylated low density lipoprotein (LDL) in mutant receptor-expressing cells was almost...
