A role for the scavenger receptor, Class B Type I in high density lipoprotein dependent activation of cellular signaling pathways.
Summary of "A role for the scavenger receptor, Class B Type I in high density lipoprotein dependent activation of cellular signaling pathways."
High density lipoprotein (HDL) levels are inversely proportional to the risk of coronary heart disease. HDL mediates various anti-atherogenic pathways including reverse cholesterol transport from cells of the arterial wall to the liver and steroidogenic tissues. In addition HDL activates various intracellular signaling events that confer atheroprotection. The HDL receptor, scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) has been implicated directly and indirectly in HDL induced signaling. The aim of this review is to summarize the role of SR-BI in HDL induced signaling in the vasculature.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Hyperlipoproteinemia Type Iii
An autosomal recessively inherited disorder characterized by the accumulation of intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL or broad-beta-lipoprotein). IDL has a CHOLESTEROL to TRIGLYCERIDES ratio greater than that of VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS. This disorder is due to mutation of APOLIPOPROTEINS E, a receptor-binding component of VLDL and CHYLOMICRONS, resulting in their reduced clearance and high plasma levels of both cholesterol and triglycerides.
Scavenger Receptors, Class B
A family of scavenger receptors that are predominately localized to CAVEOLAE of the PLASMA MEMBRANE and bind HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS.
Apolipoprotein C-ii
A 9-kDa protein component of VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS. It contains a cofactor for LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE and activates several triacylglycerol lipases. The association of Apo C-II with plasma CHYLOMICRONS; VLDL, and HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS is reversible and changes rapidly as a function of triglyceride metabolism. Clinically, Apo C-II deficiency is similar to lipoprotein lipase deficiency (HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIA TYPE I) and is therefore called hyperlipoproteinemia type IB.
Dyslipidemias
Abnormalities in the serum levels of LIPIDS, including overproduction or deficiency. Abnormal serum lipid profiles may include high total CHOLESTEROL, high TRIGLYCERIDES, low HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN CHOLESTEROL, and elevated LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN CHOLESTEROL.
Scavenger Receptors, Class D
A class of scavenger receptors that are specific for oxidized LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS and apoptotic cells. They are expressed almost exclusively in INTRACELLULAR MEMBRANES of MACROPHAGES.
