OBJECTIVE: To study the acceptor specificity for human ABCG1 (hABCG1)-mediated cholesterol efflux. METHODS AND RESULTS: Cells overexpressing hABCG1 were created in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO-K1) cells and characterized in terms of lipid composition. hABCG1 expressed in these cells formed homodimers and was mostly present intracellularly. Cholesterol efflux from hABCG1 cells to HDL2 and HDL3 was increased but not...
