Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: PDZK1 (Post-synaptic density protein/Drosophila disc-large protein/Zonula occludens protein containing 1) stabilizes the HDL receptor protein, SR-B1, in the liver, and mediates SR-B1 signaling outside of the liver. Complete knockout of pdzk1 increases atherosclerosis in apoE-deficient mice, but the effect of PDZK1 in leukocytes is not known. In this study, we tested the role of leukocyte...
