The role of PS 18: 0/18: 1 in membrane function
T Skotland, K Sandvig - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
Various studies have demonstrated that the two leaflets of cellular membranes interact,
potentially through so-called interdigitation between the fatty acyl groups. While the …

Membrane curvature induced by proximity of anionic phospholipids can initiate endocytosis
The plasma membrane is uniquely enriched in phosphatidylserine (PtdSer). This anionic
phospholipid is restricted almost exclusively to the inner leaflet of the plasmalemma …
