This study has examined the dimeric/oligomeric forms of scavenger receptor class B type I
(SR-BI) and its alternatively spliced form, SR-BII, in a diverse group of cells and tissues: ie,
normal and hormonally altered tissues of mice and rats as well as tissues of transgenic
animals and genetically altered steroidogenic and nonsteroidogenic cells overexpressing
the SR-B proteins. Using both biochemical and morphological techniques, we have seen
that these dimeric and higher order oligomeric forms of SR-BI expression are strongly …
