LIPID TRANSMEMBRANE DISTRIBUTION Methods used to determine lipid asymmetry
None of the methods utilized is' perfect'. Each one has its own drawbacks and advantages …

Lipids in biological membranes are asymmetrically distributed across the bilayer; the amine-
containing phospholipids are enriched on the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane …

Endocytosis, phagocytosis, and macropinocytosis are fundamental processes that enable
cells to sample their environment, eliminate pathogens and apoptotic bodies, and regulate …

Most biological membranes possess an asymmetric transbilayer distribution of
phospholipids. Endogenous enzymes expend energy to maintain the arrangement by …

Transbilayer phospholipid asymmetry is a common structural feature of most biological
membranes. This organization of lipids is generated and maintained by a number of …

The outer monolayer of animal plasma membranes is principally composed of choline-
phospholipids while the amino-phospholipids reside in the inner monolayer. This …

That some membranes restrict certain lipid species to one side of the bilayer and others to
the opposite side has been known for two decades. However, how this asymmetric …

The villous trophoblast of the human placenta is the epithelial cover of the fetal chorionic villi
