Cholesterol efflux via HDL pathway (HDL pathway)

Target
HDL pathway
Molecular classification
Pathway, Lipid transport, Reverse Cholesterol Transport
01

Overview

Cholesterol efflux via the HDL pathway is a critical biological process in which excess cholesterol is transported from peripheral cells to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. This process initiates reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), ultimately delivering cholesterol to the liver for excretion or recycling. The pathway plays a central role in maintaining cellular cholesterol homeostasis and protecting against atherosclerosis.
