Although sphingomyelin (SM) is a major phospholipid in lipoproteins as well as in the membrane rafts where the scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) is localized, its possible role in the selective uptake of cholesteryl ester (CE) by the SR-BI-mediated pathway is unknown. We investigated the effect of SM in lipoproteins and cell membranes on the selective uptake in three different cell lines: SR-BI-transfected CHO cells, hepatocytes (HepG2), and adrenocortical of SM in of the selective uptake of in three cell by of uptake by of of the in of uptake by CHO and by of in of of SM and in the lipoproteins and the cell membranes the SR-BI-mediated selective uptake of by the Although sphingomyelin (SM) is a major phospholipid in lipoproteins as well as in the membrane rafts where the scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) is localized, its possible role in the selective uptake of cholesteryl ester (CE) by the SR-BI-mediated pathway is unknown.
