Quantification of apolipoprotein E receptors in human brain-derived cell lines by real-time polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

, 2004
Apolipoprotein (apo) E4 is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases, compared to wild-type apoE3. The mechanism(s) is unknown.

Scavenger receptor-BI is a receptor for lipoprotein(a)

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) is a multi-ligand receptor that binds a variety of lipoproteins, including high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL), but lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has not been investigated as a possible ...

Scavenger receptor class B type I reduces cholesterol absorption in cultured enterocyte CaCo-2 cells1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates selective uptake of cholesteryl esters from HDL as well as efflux of cellular free cholesterol to HDL. It is unclear whether the receptor is involved in intestinal cholesterol absorption.

ApoE-dependent sterol efflux from macrophages is modulated by scavenger receptor class B type I expression

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
Macrophages express a number of proteins involved in sterol efflux pathways, including apolipoprotein E (apoE) and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI).

Absence of HDL cholesteryl ester uptake in mice via SR-BI impairs an adequate adrenal glucocorticoid-mediated stress response to fasting

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Receptor-mediated cholesterol uptake has been suggested to play a role in maintaining the adrenal intracellular free cholesterol pool and the ability to produce hormones.

Phosphatidylserine Binding of Class B Scavenger Receptor Type I, a Phagocytosis Receptor of Testicular Sertoli Cells [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002
Testicular Sertoli cells phagocytose apoptotic spermatogenic cells in a manner depending on the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) expressed at the surface of the latter cell type. Our previous studies have indicated that class B scavenger receptor type I (SR-BI) is responsible for the PS-mediated phagocytosis by Sertoli cells.

High density lipoprotein metabolism in low density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice1[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2014
The LDL receptor (LDLR) and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) play physiological roles in LDL and HDL metabolism in vivo. In this study, we explored HDL metabolism in LDLR-deficient mice in comparison with WT littermates.

Localization of the PE methylation pathway and SR-BI to the canalicular membrane

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
To better understand the regulation of biliary phospholipid and cholesterol excretion, canalicular membranes were isolated from the livers of C57BL/6J mice and abundant proteins separated by SDS-PAGE and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ...

Scavenger receptor class B, type I-mediated uptake of A1AT by pulmonary endothelial cells.

Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol, 2015
In addition to exerting a potent anti-elastase function, α-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) maintains the structural integrity of the lung by inhibiting endothelial inflammation and apoptosis. A main serpin secreted in circulation by hepatocytes, A1AT requires uptake by the endothelium to achieve vasculoprotective effects.

A gut feeling for drugs that have metabolic benefits

Nature Communications, 2023
Resveratrol (REV) is a natural polyphenol with anti-obesity effects. However, the mechanisms remain unclear due to its low bioavailability and the lack of defined membrane-bound or nuclear receptors.
