Abstract excerpt
The membrane transporter ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) has been shown to be the rate-limiting step in the initial formation of plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. The mechanisms of action of ABCA1, including its role in the vesicular transport of lipids to the cell surface for the lipidation of HDL apolipoproteins, are not fully understood. Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is most...
