Abstract excerpt
Mutations in ABCG5 (G5) or ABCG8 (G8) cause sitosterolemia, an autosomal recessive disease characterized by sterol accumulation and premature atherosclerosis. G5 and G8 are ATP-binding cassette (ABC) half-transporters that must heterodimerize to move to the apical surface of cells. We examined th...
