Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: A synonymous variant within scavenger receptor class B type I gene (SCARB1), exon 8 rs5888, has been associated with altered lipid levels and cardiovascular risk in humans. The objective was to determine if rs5888 decreased SR-BI protein expression and function in vitro. METHODS: SR-BI RNA secondary structure, turnover, polysomal distribution and protein expression were examined in COS cells...
