ABCG1 and ABCG4 are coexpressed in neurons and astrocytes of the CNS and regulate cholesterol homeostasis through SREBP-2

ABCG1 and ABCG4 are coexpressed in neurons and astrocytes of the CNS and regulate cholesterol homeostasis through SREBP-2

Here, we describe the initial characterization of Abcg4−/− mice and identify overlapping functions of ABCG4 and ABCG1 in the brain. Histological examination of tissues from Abcg4+/−/nlsLacZ and Abcg1+/−/nlsLacZ mice demonstrates that coexpression of Abcg4 and Abcg1 is restricted to neurons and astro...
