Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) and the lipoprotein receptor SR-BI play critical roles in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. We have examined the cholesterol efflux from wild-type (WT) and mutant forms of SR-BI expressed in ldlA-7 cells using reconstituted discoidal particles consisting of apoE, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-l-phospatidylcholine (POPC), and cholesterol (C) as acceptors. POPC/C-apoE particles generated using apoE2,...
