Co-expression of scavenger receptor-BI and caveolin-1 is associated with enhanced selective cholesteryl ester uptake in THP-1 macrophages
Scavenger receptor (SR)-BI mediates the selective uptake of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesteryl esters and the efflux of free cholesterol. In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, SR-BI is predominantly associated with caveolae which we have recently demonstrated are the initial loci for membran...
