Scavenger receptor class B type I reduces cholesterol absorption in cultured enterocyte CaCo-2 cells1

Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates selective uptake of cholesteryl esters from HDL as well as efflux of cellular free cholesterol to HDL. It is unclear whether the receptor is involved in intestinal cholesterol absorption. We addressed this issue by studying [3H]cholesterol flux in d...
