ABCA1 Transporter/Receptor
Large plasma membrane spanning ATP dependent protein.



Essential for moving excess intracellular cholesterol and phospholipid to
the plasma membrane.


Acts as a flipase, flipping cholesterol and phospholipid from inner
leaflet of plasma membrane to outer leaflet.



Necessary for removing excess cholesterol from foam cells and
preventing early steps in atherosclerosis.



ApoA-I is required for capturing the cholesterol released from the foam cell.
The Scavenger Receptor
                 (SR-A1 receptor)
 How macrophages deal with oxidized or modified LDL

The scavenger receptor recognizes modified and/or oxidized
LDL and internalizes the modified LDL.
Accumulation of these modified LDL in the cell leads to the
accumulation of cholesterol droplets in the macrophage and the
formation of foam cells.
Modification of LDL

    ABCA1 Transporter/Receptor Large plasmamembrane spanning ATP dependent protein. Essential for moving excess intracellular cholesterol and phospholipid to the plasma membrane. Acts as a flipase, flipping cholesterol and phospholipid from inner leaflet of plasma membrane to outer leaflet. Necessary for removing excess cholesterol from foam cells and preventing early steps in atherosclerosis. ApoA-I is required for capturing the cholesterol released from the foam cell.
  • 27.
    The Scavenger Receptor (SR-A1 receptor) How macrophages deal with oxidized or modified LDL The scavenger receptor recognizes modified and/or oxidized LDL and internalizes the modified LDL. Accumulation of these modified LDL in the cell leads to the accumulation of cholesterol droplets in the macrophage and the formation of foam cells.
