Transport of lipids in insects
Journal of Lipid Research, 1974 Many insect species are almost completely dependent on lipids for their metabolic needs, although this is usually a function of developmental stage. The primary storage organ is the fat body, which can constitute 50% of the fresh weight of the insect and also acts as the major metabolic center (analogous to the vertebrate adipose tissue and liver ...

Exchange of water for sterol underlies sterol egress from a StARkin domain
eLife, 2019 Previously we identified Lam/GramD1 proteins, a family of endoplasmic reticulum membrane proteins with sterol-binding StARkin domains that are implicated in intracellular sterol homeostasis. Here, we show how these proteins exchange sterol molecules with

The Roles of Membrane Rafts in CD32A-Mediated Phagocytosis [PDF]
, 2007 Membrane rafts are highly dynamic heterogeneous sterol- and sphingolipid-rich micro-domains on cell surfaces. They are generally believed to provide residency for cell surface molecules (e.g., adhesion and signaling molecules) and scaffolding to ...

Import and fate of fluorescent analogs of oxidized phospholipids in vascular smooth muscle cells
Journal of Lipid Research, 2007 Lipid oxidation is now thought to be an initiating and sustaining event in atherogenesis. Oxidatively fragmented phospholipids, namely 1-palmitoyl-2-glutaroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PGPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-(5-oxovaleroyl)-sn-glycero-3 ...

NPC1L1-dependent intestinal cholesterol absorption requires ganglioside GM3 in membrane microdomains
Journal of Lipid Research, 2018 Intestinal cholesterol absorption is a key regulator of systemic cholesterol homeostasis. Excessive dietary cholesterol and its intestinal uptake lead to hypercholesterolemia, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Lipids around the Clock: Focus on Circadian Rhythms and Lipid Metabolism
Biology, 2015 Disorders of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and transport are responsible for the development of a large spectrum of pathologies, ranging from cardiovascular diseases, to metabolic syndrome, even to tumour development.
