Synthetic amphipathic helical peptides promote lipid efflux from cells by an ABCA1-dependent and an ABCA1-independent pathway

In order to examine the necessary structural features for a protein to promote lipid efflux by the ABCA1 transporter, synthetic peptides were tested on ABCA1-transfected cells (ABCA1 cells) and on control cells. L-37pA, an l amino acid peptide that contains two class-A amphipathic helices linked by...
