Steroid hormones regulate diverse physiological functions such as reproduction, blood salt
balance, maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics, response to stress, neuronal …

The concentration, composition, shape, and size of plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
are determined by numerous proteins that influence its biogenesis, remodeling, and …

Cholesterol is required for maintenance of plasma membrane fluidity and integrity and for
many cellular functions. Cellular cholesterol can be obtained from lipoproteins in a selective …

In this chapter, we review how HDL is generated, remodeled, and catabolized in plasma. We
describe key features of the proteins that participate in these processes, emphasizing how …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) particles assemble along the very low density lipoprotein pathway
and are released from hepatocytes as entities varying in their degree of lipid and …

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 …

Abstract Purpose of Review The binding of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to its primary
receptor, scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1), is critical for lowering plasma …

In the past few decades, cDNAs for endothelial scavenger receptors that bind to negatively
charged molecules, particularly acetylated low density lipoproteins (Ac-LDL), have been …

Identification of carriers of rare mutations in human SCARB1 and PDZK1 that impair the
function of their gene products and characterization of the effects of these mutations on HDL …

In rodents, SR-BI has been firmly established as a physiologically relevant HDL receptor that
mediates removal of HDL-cholesteryl esters (CE). However, its role in human lipoprotein …
