Scavenger receptor BI facilitates hepatic very low density lipoprotein production in mice

Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is a selective uptake receptor for HDL cholesterol but is also involved in the catabolism of apolipoprotein (apo)B-containing lipoproteins. However, plasma levels of apoB-containing lipoproteins increase following hepatic SR-BI overexpression, suggesting that SR-BI not...
