ABCA1 deficiency causes tissue-specific dysregulation of the SREBP2 pathway in mice
2024-02-22
Abstract excerpt
The ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCA1 plays an essential role in the formation of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) by mediating phospholipid and cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein A-I. In humans, loss-of-function mutations in the ABCA1 gene cause Tangier disease (TD), a familial HDL deficiency. In addition to the disappearance of HDL, TD patients and Abca1 -/- mice exhibit the cholesterol deposition in peri...
