Structure and Localization of the Human Gene Encoding SR-BI/CLA-1
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
The scavenger receptor, class B, type 1 receptor (SR-BI) mediates the selective transport of lipids from high density lipoprotein to cells. We describe the structure and subchromosomal location of human SR-BI and provide evidence that it is regulated by the transcription factor, steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1). SR-BI resides on chromosome 12q24.2-qter, spans approximately 75 kilobase pairs, and contains 13 exons....
