C323 of SR-BI is required for SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake. [PDF]
Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is an HDL receptor. It binds HDL and mediates the uptake of cholesteryl ester from HDL. Early studies have pointed out that the extracellular domain of SR-BI is critical for SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake. However, the extracellular loop of SR-BI is large: it contains 403 amino acids.

SR-BI as a target of natural products and its significance in cancer [PDF]
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) protein is an integral membrane glycoprotein. SR-BI is emerging as a multifunctional protein, which regulates autophagy, efferocytosis, cell survival and inflammation. It is well known that SR-BI plays a critical role in lipoprotein metabolism by mediating cholesteryl esters selective uptake and the bi ...

Endothelial HMGB1 Is a Critical Regulator of LDL Transcytosis via an SREBP2–SR-BI Axis
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Objective: LDL (low-density lipoprotein) transcytosis across the endothelium is performed by the SR-BI (scavenger receptor class B type 1) receptor and contributes to atherosclerosis.

Receptor complementation and mutagenesis reveal SR-BI as an essential HCV entry factor and functionally imply its intra- and extra-cellular domains. [PDF]
HCV entry into cells is a multi-step and slow process. It is believed that the initial capture of HCV particles by glycosaminoglycans and/or lipoprotein receptors is followed by coordinated interactions with the scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI),

Diffusion of Sr, Bi, and Ta in amorphous SiO2 [PDF]
Abstract Diffusion of Sr, Bi, and Ta in SiO2 was studied to determine diffusion coefficients and diffusion mechanisms of these elements in the amorphous material. Technological motivation is the introduction of strontium bismuth tantalate (SBT) as ferroelectric material for nonvolatile memories.

Accelerated Lipid Absorption in Mice Overexpressing Intestinal SR-BI [PDF]
Dietary cholesterol absorption contributes to a large part of the circulating cholesterol. However, the mechanism of sterol intestinal uptake is not clearly elucidated. Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), major component in the control of cholesterol homeostasis, is expressed in the intestine, but its role in this organ remains unclear.

SCOPE Absorption mechanisms of phytoene (PT) and phytofluene (PTF) are poorly known. The main objectives of the study are to measure their micellization and intestinal cell uptake efficiencies and to compare them to those of commonly consumed carotenoids.

Monocyte-derived macrophages are among the first cells to accumulate in atherosclerotic lesions. Primarily, they appear to scavenge lipids and lipoproteins from fatty streaks, but their long-term presence and accumulation of cholesterol and cholesteryl esters is the hallmark of atherosclerosis. Atherogenesis begins by a perturbation in the endothelium.

Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is the process to deliver cholesterol to the liver for further excretion and involves scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI)-mediated selective lipid uptake (SLU) from high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C ...

Scavenger receptor SR-BI in macrophage lipid metabolism [PDF]
To investigate the mechanisms by which macrophage scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) regulates macrophage cholesterol homeostasis and protects against atherosclerosis.The expression and function of SR-BI was investigated in cultured mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM).
