Human variant of scavenger receptor BI (R174C) exhibits impaired cholesterol transport functions
: HDL and its primary receptor, scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), work together to promote the clearance of excess plasma cholesterol, thereby protecting against atherosclerosis. Human variants of SR-BI have been identified in patients with high

A library of infectious hepatitis C viruses with engineered mutations in the E2 gene reveals growth-adaptive mutations that modulate interactions with scavenger receptor class B type I [PDF]
While natural hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection results in highly diverse quasispecies of related viruses over time, mutations accumulate more slowly in tissue culture, in part because of the inefficiency of replication in cells.

Rare variant in scavenger receptor BI raises HDL cholesterol and increases risk of coronary heart disease. [PDF]
Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is the major receptor for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C). In humans, high amounts of HDL-C in plasma are associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Mice that have depleted Scarb1 (SR-BI

Excess cholesterol induces mouse egg activation and may cause female infertility [PDF]
The HDL receptor scavenger receptor, class B type I (SR-BI) controls the structure and fate of plasma HDL. Female SR-BI KO mice are infertile, apparently because of their abnormal cholesterol-enriched HDL particles.

Scavenger receptor class B type I localizes to a late endosomal compartment
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) has an established role in mediating the selective uptake of cholesterol from HDL in hepatocytes, steroidogenic cells, and other tissues.

Induction of adrenal scavenger receptor BI and increased high density lipoprotein-cholesteryl ether uptake by in vivo inhibition of hepatic lipase [PDF]
Hepatic lipase (HL) and scavenger receptor type B class I (SR-BI) have both been implicated in high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesteryl ester uptake in cholesterol-utilizing tissues.

Influence of HDL-cholesterol-elevating drugs on the in vitro activity of the HDL receptor SR-BI
Treatment of atherosclerotic disease often focuses on reducing plasma LDL-cholesterol or increasing plasma HDL-cholesterol. We examined in vitro the effects on HDL receptor [scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI)] activity of three classes of clinical

High-density lipoprotein contribute to G0-G1/S transition in Swiss NIH/3T3 fibroblasts [PDF]
High density lipoproteins (HDLs) play a crucial role in removing excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues. Although their concentration is lower during conditions of high cell growth rate (cancer and infections), their involvement during cell ...

Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates the selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl esters (CEs) by the liver. Hepatic lipase (HL) promotes this lipid uptake independent from lipolysis.
