Abstract excerpt
Recent studies of Tangier disease have shown that the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1)/apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) interaction is critical for high density lipoprotein particle formation, apoA-I integrity, and proper reverse cholesterol transport. However, the specifics of this interaction are unknown. It has been suggested that amphipathic helices of apoA-I bind to a lipid domain created by the ABCA1...
