Long chain fatty acid uptake was investigated in 3T3-L1 cells. Differentiation of these cells
from fibroblasts to adipocytes was accompanied by an 8.5-fold increase in the rate of oleate …

To understand the mechanism of long-chain fatty acid permeation of the plasma membrane
in mammalian cells, the effects of changes in the cytoplasmic pH on the internalization of …

Differentiating 3T3-L1 cells have been used to investigate the process of fatty acid uptake, its
cellular specificity, and the involvement of cytoplasmic carrier proteins. The profile of fatty …

A photoaffinity labeling method was developed to identify and characterize high affinity fatty
acid-binding proteins in membranes. The specific labeling of these sites requires the use of …

A previously described 43-kDa plasma membrane fatty acid-binding protein (FABPPM) was
not observed by immunohistochemical methods in proliferating 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. However …

A portion of the hepatocellular uptake of nonesterified long-chain fatty acids is mediated by a
specific 40-kDa plasma membrane fatty acid binding protein, which has also been isolated …

The mechanism of permeation of ['4C] oleate into isolated rat adipocytes has been
examined. The initial rates of uptake of the fatty acid were determined at 23 “C as a function …

This study extends our earlier work (Abumrad, NA, Perkins, RC, Park, JH, and Park, CRJ
Biol. Chem. 256, 9183-9191) which showed that oleate permeates the plasma membrane of …

Low molecular weight cytosolic proteins capable of association with lipophilic molecules
have been identified and stu~ tied for over two decades. These proteins have typically been …

The various and dynamic functions fulfilled by long-chain fatty acids in mammals require that
sufficient amounts of these compounds are transported between tissues and within tissue …
