High density lipoproteins (HDLs) play a critical role in cholesterol metabolism.
HDL plasma concentrations are inversely correlated with risk for atherosclerosis.
SR-BI and SR-BII (previously known as SR-BI.2) are the alternatively spliced products of a single gene.
SR-BII differs from SR-BI in that the encoded c-terminal cytoplasmic domain is almost completely different.
SR-BII binds HDLs mediating selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl ester; with an approximately 4-fold lower efficiency than SR-BI.
Nuclease protection assays show SR-BII to be abundant in mouse tissues expressing SR-BI.
SR-BII expression found in liver, adrenal glands, and testes.
The role of SR-BII is not completely clear.
Research suggests that it may be a functional HDL receptor.
SR-BII mRNA results from the alternative splicing of SR-BI precursor transcripts with the SR-BII isoform mediating selective transfer of lipid between HDL and cells.
The relative expression and functional activities of these two isoforms create a potential means of regulating selective lipid transfer between HDL and cells (1-6).
