Background: Cholesterol uptake and transportation during the feeding larval stages are critical processes in insects because they are auxotrophic for exogenous (dietary) cholesterol. The midgut is the main site for cholesterol uptake in many insects. However, the molecular mechanism by which dietary
It is unclear how the cytosolic sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP-2) binds sterols and enhances sterol transfer between membranes. Therefore, human recombinant SCP-2 was used in conjunction with phase fluorometry, dialysis, and chemical labeling techniques to show if a direct membrane effect accounted f
