Abstract: ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) systems, characterized by ABC‐type nucleotide‐binding domains (NBDs), play crucial roles in various aspects of human physiology. Human ABCG5 and ABCG8 form a heterodimeric transporter that functions in the efflux of sterols. We… read more here.

Abstract: Sitosterolemia (OMIM 210250) is a rare inherited autosomal recessive disorder of lipid metabolism, characterized by increased levels of plasma plant sterols (PS) such as stigmasterol, campesterol, and sitosterol [1,2]. Only around 100 patients with sitosterolemia… read more here.
