Function

Receptor for different ligands such as phospholipids, cholesterol ester, lipoproteins, phosphatidylserine and apoptotic cells (PubMed:12016218, PubMed:12519372, PubMed:21226579). Receptor for HDL, mediating selective uptake of cholesteryl ether and HDL-dependent cholesterol efflux (PubMed:26965621). 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 (PubMed:12016218). (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for hepatitis C virus in hepatocytes and appears to facilitate its cell entry (PubMed:12356718, PubMed:12913001, PubMed:18000990). Binding between SCARB1 and the hepatitis C virus glycoprotein E2 is independent of the genotype of the viral isolate (PubMed:12356718). (Microbial infection) Mediates uptake of M.fortuitum, E.coli and S.aureus. (Microbial infection) Facilitates the entry of human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 by acting as an entry cofactor through HDL binding.

Notes

ab176238 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Scavenging Receptor SR-BI antibody [EP1556Y] ab52629.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Our Low endotoxin, azide-free formats have low endotoxin level (1 EU/mg, determined by the TAL assay) and are free from azide, to achieve consistent experimental results in functional assays.

Activity summary

Scavenging Receptor Class B Type 1 (SR-BI) also known as CLA-1 in humans is a membrane protein involved in the selective uptake of lipids. This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 82 kDa and is primarily expressed in the liver and non-placental tissues such as adrenal glands and ovaries. SR-BI mediates the transfer of cholesterol esters from high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to cells while playing a role in reverse cholesterol transport. Its function is essential for maintaining cholesterol homeostasis.

Biological function summary

SR-BI contributes to lipid metabolism by influencing the dynamics of cholesterol and lipid circulation within the body. It forms part of the larger HDL receptor complex which facilitates the selective uptake of lipids without internalizing the entire lipoprotein. Through this mechanism SR-BI assists cells in acquiring necessary components for membrane synthesis and hormone production.

Pathways

SR-BI integrates into the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and the reverse cholesterol transport pathway. In these pathways SR-BI works closely with proteins like ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). These interactions promote the efflux and transport of cholesterol therefore playing a vital role in lipid regulation and metabolic processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

SR-BI's malfunction can lead to cardiovascular diseases due to its role in cholesterol metabolism. Elevated levels of HDL cholesterol without functional SR-BI impair reverse cholesterol transport potentially leading to atherosclerosis. Moreover SR-BI interacts with apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) a major protein component of HDL impacting its efficacy and connection to coronary artery disease. Understanding SR-BI pathways and their interactions can provide insights into therapeutic strategies for treating cholesterol-related disorders.
