Membrane proteins and proteomics: Love is possible, but so difficult [PDF]
, 2009 Despite decades of extensive research, the large-scale analysis of membrane proteins remains a difficult task. This is due to the fact that membrane proteins require a carefully balanced hydrophilic and lipophilic environment, which optimum varies with ...

Membrane transport of anandamide through resealed human red blood cell membranes
Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 The use of resealed red blood cell membranes (ghosts) allows the study of the transport of a compound in a nonmetabolizing system with a biological membrane.

An overview about erythrocyte membrane [PDF]
, 2010 © 2010 – IOS Press and the authors. All rights reservedIn the sixties and seventies, erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs) were extensively studied. Much has been learnt particularly concerning their metabolism and gas transporter function. In the past

Binding of anandamide to bovine serum albumin
Journal of Lipid Research, 2003 The endocannabinoid anandamide is of lipid nature and may thus bind to albumin in the vascular system, as do fatty acids. The knowledge of the free water-phase concentration of anandamide is essential for the investigations of its transfer from the ...

Kinetic modeling of Sendai virus fusion with PC-12 cells. Effect of pH and temperature on fusion and viral inactivation [PDF]
, 1992 We have studied the fusion activity of Sendai virus, a lipid-enveloped paramyxovirus, towards a line of adherent cells designated PC-12. Fusion was monitored by the dequenching of octadecylrhodamine, a fluorescent non-exchangeable probe. The results were

Cholestatriene and ergostatetraene as in vivo and in vitro membrane and lipoprotein probes.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1982 The fluorescent cholesterol analogues, cholesta-5,7,9(11)triene-3-beta-ol (I) and ergosta-5,7,9(11)-22-tetraene-3-beta-ol (II), have been shown to be readily incorporated by various tissues and lipoproteins in rabbits maintained on diets supplemented ...

Effect of an unstirred layer on the membrane permeability of anandamide
Journal of Lipid Research, 2006 To study the effect of an unstirred layer (UL), we have investigated the exchange efflux kinetics of anandamide at 0°C, pH 7.3, from albumin-free as well as from albumin-filled human red blood cell ghosts to media of various BSA concentrations ([BSA]o ...

Bispyridinium Compounds Inhibit Both Muscle and Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Human Cell Lines. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Standard treatment of poisoning by organophosphorus anticholinesterases uses atropine to reduce the muscarinic effects of acetylcholine accumulation and oximes to reactivate acetylcholinesterase (the effectiveness of which depends on the specific ...

Erythrocyte complement receptor 1 (CR1) expression level is not associated with polymorphisms in the promoter or 3' untranslated regions of the CR1 gene [PDF]
, 2006 Complement receptor 1 (CR1) expression level on erythrocytes is genetically determined and is associated with high (H) and low (L) expression alleles identified by a HindIII restriction fragment-length polymorphism (RFLP) in intron 27 of the CR1 gene ...
