Expression of scavenger receptor class B type I in gallbladder columnar epithelium
AbstractBackgroundThe lipid content of bile may be modified by the gallbladder epithelium. Recent studies indicate that cholesterol can be absorbed from bile and that this can be enhanced by apolipoprotein (apo) A‐I. SR‐BI is a multifunctional receptor capable of binding a wide array of native or modified lipoproteins, phospholipid or bile acid ...

Scavenger receptor class B type I and immune dysfunctions. [PDF]
To summarize the recent findings about the roles of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) in immunity and discuss the underlying mechanisms by which SR-BI prevents immune dysfunctions.SR-BI is well known as a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor playing key roles in HDL metabolism and in protection against atherosclerosis.

Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI): a versatile receptor with multiple functions and actions. [PDF]
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), is a physiologically relevant HDL receptor that mediates selective uptake of lipoprotein (HDL)-derived cholesteryl ester (CE) in vitro and in vivo. Mammalian SR-BI is a 509-amino acid, ~82 kDa glycoprotein that contains N- and C-terminal cytoplasmic domains, two-transmembrane domains, as well as a large ...

Human scavenger receptor class B type I variants, lipid traits, and cardiovascular disease. [PDF]
Over the years, pioneering work from Monty Krieger’s laboratory has solidified the role of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) as a physiologically relevant lipoprotein receptor, especially in mouse models.1,2 It is safe to conclude that the complete absence of SR-BI in mice is associated with significant increases in circulating high-density ...

Transcriptional Regulation of Rat Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I Gene [PDF]
The scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates the selective transport of lipids from high density lipoprotein to cells and plays an important role in the reverse uptake of cholesterol to the liver and in the delivery of substrates for steroidogenesis in steroidogenic organs.
