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

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.

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.

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.

ABC transporters and azole susceptibility in laboratory strains of the wheat pathogen Mycosphearella graminicola [PDF]
Laboratory strains of Mycosphaerella graminicola with decreased susceptibilities to the azole antifungal agent cyproconazole showed a multidrug resistance phenotype by exhibiting cross-resistance to an unrelated chemical, cycloheximide or rhodamine 6G ...

ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 in Lipoprotein Metabolism and Atherosclerosis [PDF]
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is a key protein determining high-density lipoprotein (HDL) function. In 1999, it was discovered by 3 independent groups that mutations in the gene for ABCA1 underlie the molecular defect in the HDL deficiency syndrome Tangier disease.

Regulation of ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux during adipose differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells
Adipose cells specialized in energy storage, contain large intracellular triglyceride-rich lipid droplets, are enriched with free cholesterol, and express sterol-regulated transcription factors such as liver X receptor (LXR). The recent identification of
