Phospholipids in the plasma membranes of animal cells are asymmetrically distributed between outer and inner leaflets, by the function of an ATP-dependent enzyme(s), called flippase.

18 The mean values of total phospholipids/protein (1.16±0.10) and phosphatidylcholine/protein (0.53±0.06) mass ratios are close to those reported for the adipocyte plasma membranes of massively ...

For the current study, Heilmann's team focused on the phospholipids of pollen tubes, which, as the main component of the plasma membrane, are responsible for separating the cell's interior from ...

Phospholipids are usually distributed unevenly ... The team also found that changes in the tension of the cell's plasma membrane might help activate the Tmem63b/Slc19a2 complex.

Animal fats are complex mixtures of triglycerides and contain lower amounts of cholesterols and phospholipids ... from cells is transported from the plasma membranes of peripheral cells to ...

Plasmalogens are particularly abundant in the heart and brain, where they are involved in structuring cell membranes and mediating signals. Plasmalogens are phospholipids defined by a particular ...

Cells of all life forms are surrounded by a membrane that is made of phospholipids. One of these are the cardiolipins, which form a separate class due to their unique structure. When studying the ...
