Caveolin-1 does not affect SR-BI-mediated cholesterol efflux or selective uptake of cholesteryl ester in two cell lines
Free cholesterol (FC) has been reported to efflux from cells through caveolae, which are 50–100 nm plasma membrane pits. The 22 kDa protein caveolin-1 is concentrated in caveolae and is required for their formation. The HDL scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), which stimulates both FC efflux and selective...
