The role of procollagen C-endopeptidase protein 2 (PCPE2) in reverse cholesterol transport. PCPE2 binds to the extracellular matrix through heparin sulphate proteoglycans. One hypothesis of how PCPE2 stimulates scavenger receptor class B1 (SR-BI) cholesteryl ester uptake suggests that PCPE2 binds to plasma HDL thereby inducing conformational changes to the lipoprotein particle promoting the removal of HDL cholesteryl ester.
