Do anionic phospholipids serve as cofactors or second messengers for the regulation of activity of cloned ATP-sensitive K+ channels? [PDF]
The regulation of ion channels by anionic phospholipids is currently very topical. An outstanding issue is whether phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate and related species act as true second messengers in signaling or behave in a manner analogous to an ...

Mutational analysis of human profilin I reveals a second PI(4,5)-P2 binding site neighbouring the poly(L-proline) binding site [PDF]
Background: Profilin is a small cytoskeletal protein which interacts with actin, proline-rich proteins and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)-P-2).

Relationship between membrane phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate and receptor-mediated inhibition of native neuronal M channels [PDF]
The relationship between receptor-induced membrane phosphatidylinositol-4'5'-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis and M-current inhibition was assessed in single-dissociated rat sympathetic neurons by simultaneous or parallel recording of membrane current and ...

Serum phospholipids during aging: A comprehensive systematic review of cross-sectional and case-control studies [PDF]
Background: The lipidome, as a subset of metabolomics, can undergo significant variations due to several factors, including the aging process. Therefore, this study aims to summarize the relationship between aging and alterations in plasma phospholipids.

Plasma Membrane Phosphatidylinositol 4-Phosphate Is Necessary for Virulence of Candida albicans
Phosphatidylinositol lipids regulate key processes, including vesicle trafficking and cell polarity. A recent study identified novel roles for phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) in the plasma membrane of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans ...

Editorial: Membrane lipids in T cell functions [PDF]
Plasma membrane lipids play essential roles in regulating T cell signaling, differentiation, and effector functions. The major lipid species in the plasma membrane are glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and sterol lipids.

Hepatic deletion of Mboat7 (LPIAT1) causes activation of SREBP-1c and fatty liver
: Genetic variants that increase the risk of fatty liver disease and cirrhosis have recently been identified in the proximity of membrane-bound O-acyltransferase domain-containing 7 (MBOAT7).
