EEPD1 Is a Novel LXR Target Gene in Macrophages Which Regulates ABCA1 Abundance and Cholesterol Efflux
13 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
Objective— The sterol-responsive nuclear receptors, liver X receptors α (LXRα, NR1H3 ) and β (LXRβ, NR1H2 ), are key determinants of cellular cholesterol homeostasis. LXRs are activated under conditions of high cellular sterol load and induce expression of the cholesterol efflux transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1 to promote efflux of excess cellular cholesterol. However, the full set of genes that contribute to...
