Cell-intrinsic mechanical regulation of plasma membrane accumulation at the cytokinetic furrow The magnitude of these effects depends on the plasma membrane fluidity, cortex adhesion, and cortical contractility. Overall, our work reveals cell-intrinsic... R Alonso-Matilla,AR Lam,TP Miettinen - 《Proc...
Membrane fluidity and cholesterol in thymus and spleen cells from mice treated with immunomoddatory drugs - Merrit, Licht, et al. - 1982M.V. Merrit, N. J. Licht, C.A. Hatfield, and P.E. Fast, "Membrane fluidity and cholesterol in thy- mus and spleen cells from mice treated with im...
Cholesterol serves as a precursor for the biosynthesis of steroid hormones, bile acids, and vitamin D. It modulates membrane fluidity over the range of physiological temperatures. The hydroxyl group on cholesterol interacts with the polar head groups of the membrane phospholipids and sphingolipids, whi...
Besides being a metabolite for cholesterol elimination, 24-OH may also be caught by astrocytes, where it acts as a signaling molecule that regulates cholesterol homeostasis by activating liver X receptors. These nuclear receptors are thought to enhance the expression of elements that increase ...
For example, cholesterol influences membrane fluidity23, facilitates exocytosis/endocytosis24, regulates integral membrane proteins like G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)25, and organizes cytoskeletal attachment as well as cell adhesion26. The distribution of cholesterol within the cell membrane is highly...
QtyAdd to Cart nt pyrene derivatives that contain a cholesterol moiety on one PEG terminus. Cholesterol is an essentail lipid component to build and maintain basic animal cell functional. It is one of animal cell-mmbrane structure components and establishes proper membrane permeability and fluidity....
Fosfolipitlerin yağ asitlerinin kuyrukları doymuş veya doymamış olabilir. Doymuş yağ asitleri, hidrokarbon omurgası arasında tek bağlara sahiptir ve maksimum sayıda hidrojene doymuştur. Bu doymuş kuyruklar düzdür ve bu nedenle birbirine sıkıca sa...
further mature pre-β-HDL particles to produce HDL3, and HDL3 acts as an acceptor for FC discharged by ABCG1 and/or SR-BI to produce HDL2 finally.121,122,123Among them, LCAT mediates the cleavage of fatty acids at thesn-2 position of phospholipids and transesterification to the 3-β-...
and blood. For the cholesterol synthesized in the liver to be delivered by the bloodstream to the rest of the body, the liver manufactures lipoproteins that can be viewed as carriers for cholesterol (and triglycerides). Usescholesterol is a moisturizer and emollient that acts as a powerful emulsi...
By interacting with phospholipids and sphingolipids, cholesterol contributes to the characteristic physicochemical properties of membranes, mainly fluidity and passive permeability.140 Cholesterol is not homogeneously distributed in the membrane; rather, it is concentrated in structures such as rafts and ...
