Research Abstract |
To clarify the genes involved in hypelipidemia (hypercholesterolemia), we conducted a functional genetic screening of the genes that play an important role in intra-cellular cholesterol transport and/or metabolism. So far we succeeded to isolate 188 mutants that defected the LDL-cholesterol uptake, intracellular cholesterol transport and/or metabolism from the large-scale gene-trap insertional mutants library of CHO cells, and to identify the 49 known genes and 32 genes of unidentified function.
