ATP-Binding cassette subfamily G (ABCG) sterol transporters maintain whole body endogenous and exogenous sterol homeostasis. A substantial portion of exogenous sterols are undigestible phytosterols (plant sterols), which can introduce complications when accumulated. ABCG5/G8 is the main protein functioning to remove ingested plant sterols providing protection from their toxic effects, although, the structural features behind substrate binding in ABCG5/G8 remain poorly resolved. Within this data ...[more]
