Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The transport of lipids, which is orchestrated by a multitude of molecular factors, is a key feature of the physiology of living cells. A new group of transporter protein, the A-subclass of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, was recently discovered. ABCA-transporters play pivotal roles in cellular lipid transport and their discovery has brought important new insights into the molecular basis of...
