Abstract excerpt
The class B, type I scavenger receptor has been implicated as a receptor for high density lipoprotein (HDL). We have isolated a murine cDNA clone encoding an alternative form of SR-BI that differs in the putative cytoplasmic domain of the receptor. This variant form, likely the result of alternative mRNA splicing, is designated SR-BI.2. SR-BI.2 mRNA was detected in mouse tissues known to express SR-BI and...
