Palmitoylation of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 Is Essential for Its Trafficking and Function [PDF]
ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC)A1 lipidates apolipoprotein A-I both directly at the plasma membrane and also uses lipids from the late endosomal or lysosomal compartment in the internal lipidation of apolipoprotein A-I. However, how ABCA1 targeting to these specific membranes is regulated remains unknown.

ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 expression is decreased in preeclamptic placentas. [PDF]
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific multisystem disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. Accentuated maternal hyperlipidemia, especially high serum levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), is one of the features of preeclampsia.

ATP-binding cassette transporter A1: A promising therapy target for prostate cancer. [PDF]
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) has been found to mediate the transfer of cellular cholesterol across the plasma membrane to apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), and is essential for the synthesis of high-density lipoprotein. Mutations of the ABCA1 gene may induce Tangier disease and familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia; they may also lead to loss of ...

ATP-binding Cassette Transporter A1 Mediates Cellular Secretion of α-Tocopherol [PDF]
Alpha-tocopherol (alpha-TOH) is associated with plasma lipoproteins and accumulates in cell membranes throughout the body, suggesting that lipoproteins play a role in transporting alpha-TOH between tissues. Here we show that secretion of alpha-TOH from cultured cells is mediated in part by ABCA1, an ATP-binding cassette protein that transports cellular

Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an amphiphilic helical protein that is found associated with plasma HDL in various pathological conditions, such as acute or chronic inflammation. Cellular lipid release and generation of HDL by this protein were investigated, in

Abnormal amyloid beta (Aβ) clearance is a distinctive pathological mechanism for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), which mediates the lipidation of apolipoprotein E, plays a critical role in Aβ clearance.

Recent developments in lipid metabolism have shown the importance of ATP binding cassette transporters (ABCs) in controlling cellular and total body lipid homeostasis. ABCA1 mediates the transport of cholesterol and phospholipids from cells to lipid-poor

Varicellovirus UL 49.5 proteins differentially affect the function of the transporter associated with antigen processing, TAP [PDF]
Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes play an important role in the protection against viral infections, which they detect through the recognition of virus-derived peptides, presented in the context of MHC class I molecules at the surface of the infected cell.

Heterogeneity of high density lipoprotein generated by ABCA1 and ABCA7
The assembly of HDL by helical apolipoprotein and cellular lipid was studied using HEK293 cells to which ecdysone-inducible human ABCA1 or human ABCA7 was transfected.
