This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 82 kDa and is primarily expressed in the liver and non-placental tissues such as adrenal glands and ovaries. SR-BI mediates the transfer of cholesterol esters from high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to cells while playing a role in reverse cholesterol transport. Its function is essential for maintaining cholesterol homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nSR-BI contributes to lipid metabolism by influencing the dynamics of cholesterol and lipid circulation within the body. It forms part of the larger HDL receptor complex which facilitates the selective uptake of lipids without internalizing the entire lipoprotein. Through this mechanism SR-BI assists cells in acquiring necessary components for membrane synthesis and hormone production.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSR-BI integrates into the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and the reverse cholesterol transport pathway. In these pathways SR-BI works closely with proteins like ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). These interactions promote the efflux and transport of cholesterol therefore playing a vital role in lipid regulation and metabolic processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nSR-BI's malfunction can lead to cardiovascular diseases due to its role in cholesterol metabolism. Elevated levels of HDL cholesterol without functional SR-BI impair reverse cholesterol transport potentially leading to atherosclerosis. Moreover SR-BI interacts with apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) a major protein component of HDL impacting its efficacy and connection to coronary artery disease. Understanding SR-BI pathways and their interactions can provide insights into therapeutic strategies for treating cholesterol-related disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854096617641,"sku":"ab106572","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab106572","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
