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.

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

In addition to triacylglycerols, adipocytes contain a large reserve of unesterified cholesterol. During adipocyte lipolysis and cell death seen during severe obesity and weight loss, free fatty acids and cholesterol become available for uptake and ...

Myeloid-Derived Growth Factor Alleviates Diabetic Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease by Up-Regulating ABCA1 and ABCG1 Expression via the AMPK/PPARγ/LXRα Pathway. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The regulatory role of bone marrow in systemic metabolic processes remains incompletely characterized. Myeloid‐derived growth factor (MYDGF) is a myeloid cell‐secreted factor with emerging metabolic functions, but its action in diabetes‐associated non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (DM NAFLD) is undefined.

Objective: It has been reported that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) regulates lipid metabolism by stimulating adipocyte browning, lipolysis, and lipid oxidation, and by impacting the secretion of adipokines.

The ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 regulates phosphoantigen release and Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation by dendritic cells. [PDF]
VÎ339VÎ ́2 T cells are activated by phosphoantigens, such as isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), which is generated in the mevalonate pathway of antigen-presenting cells. IPP is released in the extracellular microenvironment via unknown mechanisms.

Diabetes reduces the cholesterol exporter ABCA1 in mouse macrophages and kidneys1
Accumulation of cholesterol in arterial macrophages may contribute to diabetes-accelerated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCA1 is a cardioprotective membrane protein that mediates cholesterol export from ...

Activation of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 Transcription by Chromatin Remodeling Complex [PDF]
Objective— Liver X receptor (LXR) regulates the transcription of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) by binding to the DR-4 promoter element as a heterodimer with retinoid X receptor (RXR). The role of chromatin remodeling complex in LXR or ABCA1 activation has not been established previously.
