Scavenger receptor class BI and selective cholesteryl ester uptake: partners in the regulation of steroidogenesis
Abstract
The steroidogenic tissues have a special requirement for cholesterol, which is used as a substrate for steroid hormone biosynthesis. In many species this cholesterol is obtained from plasma lipoproteins by a unique pathway in which circulating lipoproteins bind to the surface of the steroidogenic cells and contribute their cholesteryl esters to the cells by a 'selective' process in which the whole lipoprotein particle does not enter the cell. This review describes the lipoprotein selective cholesteryl ester uptake process and its specific partnership with the HDL receptor, scavenger receptor class BI (SR-BI). It describes the characteristics of the selective pathway, and the molecular properties, localization, regulation, anchoring sites and potential mechanisms of action of SR-BI in facilitating cholesteryl ester uptake by steroidogenic cells.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
