Interaction of drugs with lipid raft membrane domains as a possible target
Introduction: Plasma membranes are not the homogeneous bilayers of uniformly distributed lipids but the lipid complex with laterally separated lipid raft membrane domains, which provide receptor, ion channel and enzyme proteins with a platform.

Differential Association of the Na+/H+ Exchanger Regulatory Factor (NHERF) Family of Adaptor Proteins with the Raft- and the Non-Raft Brush Border Membrane Fractions of NHE3 [PDF]
Background/Aims: Trafficking, brush border membrane (BBM) retention, and signal-specific regulation of the Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3 is regulated by the Na+/H+ Exchanger Regulatory Factor (NHERF) family of PDZ-adaptor proteins, which enable the formation of ...

Lipid raft involvement in signal transduction in cancer cell survival, cell death and metastasis. [PDF]
Lipid rafts are cholesterol‐ and sphingolipid‐enriched specialized membrane domains within the plasma membrane. Lipid rafts regulate the density and activity of signal receptors by compartmentalizing them, promoting signalling cascades that play ...

Lipid Rafts and Pseudotyping [PDF]
ABSTRACTSpecific interactions between envelope and core proteins govern the membrane assembly of most enveloped viruses. Despite this, mixed infections lead to pseudotyping, the association of the viral cores of one virus with the envelopes of another. How does this occur?

Lipid raft microdomain compartmentalization of TC10 is required for insulin signaling and GLUT4 translocation. [PDF]
Recent studies indicate that insulin stimulation of glucose transporter (GLUT)4 translocation requires at least two distinct insulin receptor-mediated signals: one leading to the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI-3) kinase and the other to the ...

HHcy Induces Pyroptosis and Atherosclerosis via the Lipid Raft-Mediated NOX-ROS-NLRP3 Inflammasome Pathway in apoE−/− Mice [PDF]
Lipid rafts play important roles in signal transduction, particularly in responses to inflammatory processes. The current study aimed to identify whether lipid raft-mediated inflammation contributes to hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy)-accelerated ...

Transcriptomic landscape based on annotated clinical features reveals PLPP2 involvement in lipid raft-mediated proliferation signature of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Background Image-based screening improves the detection of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD)but also highlights the issue of high false-positive diagnoses, which puts patients at a risk of unnecessary over-treatment.
