摘要
Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble micronutrient for higher mammals and functions as an antioxidant for lipids and also as a regulator of gene expression and a modulator of cell signaling and proliferation. To exert its physiological functions, vitamin E must achieve an appropriate disposition throughout the body via several processes, such as intestinal absorption, uptake and efflux in peripheral tissues and biliary secretion. In this review, we mainly discuss membrane proteins involved in these transport processes (ATP-binding cassette transporter A1, scavenger receptor class B type I, Niemann-Pick Cl-like 1 and multidrug resistance 3) and vitamin E-mediated regulation of their expression.
