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.

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor 1 (BLT1) is a G protein-coupled receptor expressed in various leukocyte subsets; however, the precise expression of mouse BLT1 (mBLT1) has not been reported because a mBLT1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) has not been available. In this
