Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of the p.R1068H mutation on the structure and function of the ATP-binding cassette A1 (ABCA1) protein. METHODS: A homology model of the nucleotide binding domains of ABCA1 was constructed to identify the three-dimensional orientation of R1068. Cholesterol efflux assays were performed on fibroblasts obtained from members of a Tangier disease (TD) family carrying the p.R1068H...
