ATP-binding cassette transporter A1: From metabolism to neurodegeneration [PDF]
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates cholesterol efflux to lipid-free apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and apolipoprotein E (apoE). ABCA1 is an essential regulator of high density lipoproteins (HDL) and reverse cholesterol transport — a role ...

Bilirubin Decreases Macrophage Cholesterol Efflux and ATP‐Binding Cassette Transporter A1 Protein Expression [PDF]
Background Mild but chronically elevated circulating unconjugated bilirubin is associated with reduced total and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration, which is associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk.

Up-regulation of the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 inhibits hepatitis C virus infection. [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) establishes infection using host lipid metabolism pathways that are thus considered potential targets for indirect anti-HCV strategies.

Functional characterization of genetic variants affecting the intracellular domains of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) [PDF]
The ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) effluxes cellular cholesterol and phospholipids to extracellular acceptors, mainly apolipoprotein A1, generating high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles.

A novel function of apolipoprotein E: upregulation of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 expression. [PDF]
Despite the well known importance of apolipoprotein (Apo) E in cholesterol efflux, the effect of ApoE on the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) has never been investigated. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of

Association of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 Gene Polymorphisms in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among Malaysians [PDF]
Background. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex polygenic disorder characterized by impaired insulin resistance, insulin secretion, and dysregulation of lipid and protein metabolism with environmental and genetic factors.

ABCA1 is an extracellular phospholipid translocase
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) drives phospholipid (PL) from the plasma membrane into extracellular apolipoprotein A-I, for the production of high density lipoprotein (HDL).
