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 ...

Role of mitochondrial raft-like microdomains in the regulation of cell apoptosis [PDF]
Lipid rafts are envisaged as lateral assemblies of specific lipids and proteins that dissociate and associate rapidly and form functional clusters in cell membranes.

Reversible Dissolution of Microdomains in Detergent-Resistant Membranes at Physiological Temperature. [PDF]
The formation of lipid microdomains ("rafts") is presumed to play an important role in various cellular functions, but their nature remains controversial.

Evidence for the involvement of lipid rafts localized at the ER-mitochondria associated membranes in autophagosome formation [PDF]
Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) are subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that interact with mitochondria. This membrane scrambling between ER and mitochondria appears to play a critical role in the earliest steps of autophagy.

Nanoclustering as a dominant feature of plasma membrane organization [PDF]
Early studies have revealed that some mammalian plasma membrane proteins exist in small nanoclusters. The advent of super-resolution microscopy has corroborated and extended this picture, and led to the suggestion that many, if not most, membrane ...

T cell Ca2+ microdomains through the lens of computational modeling
Cellular Ca2+ signaling is highly organized in time and space. Locally restricted and short-lived regions of Ca2+ increase, called Ca2+ microdomains, constitute building blocks that are differentially arranged to create cellular Ca2+ signatures ...

Use of dansyl-cholestanol as a probe of cholesterol behavior in membranes of living cells[S]
While plasma membrane cholesterol-rich microdomains play a role in cholesterol trafficking, little is known about the appearance and dynamics of cholesterol through these domains in living cells.

Caveolin is present in intestinal cells: role in cholesterol trafficking?
It was postulated that specialized microdomains of the plasma membrane, consistent with caveolae, might play a role in cholesterol trafficking in intestinal cells.

Loss of flotillin expression results in weakened desmosomal adhesion and Pemphigus vulgaris-like localisation of desmoglein-3 in human keratinocytes [PDF]
Desmosomes are adhesion plaques that mediate cell-cell adhesion in many tissues, including the epidermis, and generate mechanical resistance to tissues. The extracellular domains of desmosomal cadherin proteins, desmogleins and desmocollins, are required
