The protein composition of the plasma membrane of animal cells is complex. Cells of hepatocyte origin in tissue culture have, for example, at least 100 proteins and glycoproteins externally oriented on their plasma membrane (1, 2). The organization of these proteins in the plasma membrane of cells i

Many cell types have significant negative resting membrane potentials (RMPs) resulting from the activity of potassium-selective and chloride-selective ion channels. In excitable cells, such as neurones, rapid changes in membrane permeability underlie the generation of action potentials. Chondrocytes
When neuroblastoma cells are exposed to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), they undergo a vigorous, but transient blebbing phase. The effect is sensitive to inhibition by staurosporine, KT 5926 (an inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase), and cytochalasin B, suggesting that LPA activates the phosphorylati
Alkaline hepatic bile is acidified in the gallbladder to prevent calcium precipitation and gallstone formation. Because membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoenzyme IV participates with cytoplasmic CA II in the acidification of urine in the kidney, we studied its expression in different regions
