Background Descriptions | High density lipoproteins (HDLs) play a critical role in cholesterol metabolism and their plasma concentrations are inversely correlated with risk for atherosclerosis. The SR-BI (Scavenger Receptor BI) protein binds HDLs and mediates selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl ester. SR-BI binds HDL with high affinity, is expressed primarily in liver and nonplacental steroidgenic tissues, and mediates selective cholesterol uptake by a distinct mechanism. In mice, it seems that SR-BI plays a key role in determining the levels of plasma lipoprotein cholesterol and the accumulation of cholesterol stores in the adrenal gland. Scavenging Receptor SR-BI plays a critical role in HCV attachment and/or cell entry by interacting with HCV E1/E2 glycoproteins heterodimer. |

Function | Receptor for different ligands such as phospholipids, cholesterol ester, lipoproteins, phosphatidylserine and apoptotic cells (By similarity). Both isoform 1 and isoform 2 act as receptors for HDL, mediating selective uptake of cholesteryl ether and HDL-dependent cholesterol efflux (PubMed:9254074, PubMed:9614139). Also facilitates the flux of free and esterified cholesterol between the cell surface and apoB-containing lipoproteins and modified lipoproteins, although less efficiently than HDL. May be involved in the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, via its phosphatidylserine binding activity (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Membrane, caveola; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Predominantly localized to cholesterol and sphingomyelin-enriched domains within the plasma membrane, called caveolae. [Isoform 2]: Cell membrane. Membrane, caveola |
Tissue Location | Expressed primarily in liver, ovary and adrenal gland, and, at lower levels in other non-placental steroidogenic tissues, including adipose tissue, mammary gland and testis (at protein level) (PubMed:8560269, PubMed:9254074, PubMed:9614139). Isoform 2 is expressed at lower levels than isoform 1 in liver, testis and adrenal gland (PubMed:9614139). At the mRNA, but not at the protein level, isoform 2 is the predominant isoform in testis (80%) (PubMed:9254074) |
