Influence of SM in delivering cholesterol to cells through the SR-BI receptor. SR-BI mediates cholesterol ester influx by the cells but also bidirectional flux of unesterified cholesterol and phospholipids between HDL and cells. Both cell membrane and HDL SM inhibit SR-BI transport activity, while HDL PC stimulates its transport activity [31,121,122].
