Application

BLT-1 (Block lipid transport-1) has been used as an inhibitor of the SR-BI (scavenger receptor, class B, type I) mediated lipid transfer to determine if miR-223-3p export from polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) to high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) is dependent on SR-BI-mediated lipid flux. It has also been used as a SR-BI inhibitor to study the effect of HDL on osteocalcin (OCN) expression in monocyte cell lines through SR-B1.

BLT-1 may be used to study cell signaling pathways that have role in cholesterol influx and efflux.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Block lipid transport-1 (BLT-1) is a specific inhibitor of the SR-BI (Scavenger receptor, class B, type I) mediated lipid transfer. The compound inhibits both cellular selective lipid uptake of HDL cholesteryl ether and efflux of cellular cholesterol to HDL.
