Localization of the Sodium-Taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide in membrane rafts and modulation of its activity by cholesterol in vitro
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
Background: The relevance of discrete localization of hepatobiliary transporters in specific membrane microdomains is not well known. Aim: To determine whether the Na+/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp), the ...
Procyanidins can interact with Caco-2 cell membrane lipid rafts: involvement of cholesterol
(Elsevier Science, 2013-11)
Large procyanidins (more than three subunits) are not absorbed at the gastrointestinal tract but could exert local effects through their interactions with membranes. We previously showed that hexameric procyanidins (Hex), ...
Differential expression of potassium channels in placentas from normal and pathological pregnancies: Targeting of the K ir 2.1 channel to lipid rafts
(2012)
Potassium channels play important physiological roles in human syncytiotrophoblasts (hSTBs) from placenta, an epithelium responsible for maternal-fetal exchange. Basal and apical plasma membranes differ in their lipid and ...
Structure and dynamics of nano-sized raft-like domains on the plasma membrane
(American Institute of Physics, 2012-01)
Cell membranes are constitutively composed of thousands of different lipidic species, whose specific organization leads to functional heterogeneities. In particular, sphingolipids, cholesterol and some proteins associate ...
Sizes of lipid domains: What do we know from artificial lipid membranes? What are the possible shared features with membrane rafts in cells?
(Elsevier Science, 2017-05)
In model lipid membranes with phase coexistence, domain sizes distribute in a very wide range, from the nanometer (reported in vesicles and supported films) to the micrometer (observed in many model membranes). Domain ...
Lipid rafts: cell surface platforms for T cell signaling
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2002)
Cholesterol Depletion Disorganizes Oocyte Membrane Rafts Altering Mouse Fertilization
(Public Library of Science, 2013-04-25)
Drastic membrane reorganization occurs when mammalian sperm binds to and fuses with the oocyte membrane. Two oocyte protein families are essential for fertilization, tetraspanins and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored ...
Proteomic analysis of apical microvillous membranes of syncytiotrophoblast cells reveals a high degree of similarity with lipid rafts
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2005-11)
Brush borders (microvilli) are cell membrane specialized structures that function mainly as high-throughput absortive/secretory areas. It has been well-established that brush borders are particularly rich in membrane lipids ...
Lipid Rafts and Cytoskeletal Proteins in Placental Microvilli Membranes from Preeclamptic and IUGR Pregnancies
(Springer, 2011-05)
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia (PE) are leading causes of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Previously we reported the expression of lipid rafts in classical microvillous membrane ...
