Zhang et al. present the cryo-EM structure of ATP-binding cassette transporters ABCG5/G8 in complex with the Fab fragments from two monoclonal antibodies at 3.3 Å resolution. This study provides structural insights into the transport cycle and potential epitopes for therapeutic interventions that control cholesterol homeostasis.
