Bacterial lipopolysaccharide induces expression of ABCA1 but not ABCG1 via an LXR-independent pathway
Two ATP-binding cassette transporter proteins, ABCA1 and ABCG1, may mediate an active efflux of cellular cholesterol and phospholipids. They are ubiquitously expressed and are subject to regulation by cholesterol loading or by treatment with agents that activate the nuclear hormone receptor LXR. Ear...
