The Reentry Helix Is Potentially Involved in Cholesterol Sensing of the ABCG1 Transporter Protein
ABCG1 has been proposed to play a role in HDL-dependent cellular sterol regulation; however, details of the interaction between the transporter and its potential sterol substrates have not been revealed.

Expression and Functional Characterization of ABCG1 Splice Variant ABCG1(666) [PDF]
The ATP‐binding cassette transporter ABCG1 mediates the transport of excess cholesterol from macrophages and other cell types to high density lipoprotein (HDL) but not to lipid‐depleted apolipoprotein AI. Several splice variants which may have different functions have been identified in mammals.

Structure and Transport Mechanism of the Human Cholesterol Transporter ABCG1 [PDF]
The reverse cholesterol transport pathway is responsible for the maintenance of human cholesterol homeostasis, an imbalance of which usually leads to atherosclerosis. As a key component of this pathway, the ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCG1 forwards cellular cholesterol to the extracellular acceptor nascent high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Here, we
