Scavenger receptor (SR)-BI catalyzes the selective uptake of cholesteryl ester (CE) from high density lipoprotein (HDL) by a two-step process that involves the following: 1) binding of HDL to the receptor and 2) diffusion of the CE molecules into the cell plasma membrane. We examined the effects...
