There is accumulating evidence that lateral assemblies (rafts) of sphingolipids and
cholesterol form platforms that serve to support numerous cellular events in membrane traffic …

Caveolae and lipid rafts are two distinct populations of free cholesterol, sphingolipid
(FC/SPH)-rich cell surface microdomains. They differ in stability, shape, and the presence or …

Glycosphingolipid-and cholesterol-enriched microdomains, or rafts, within the plasma
membrane of eukaryotic cells have been implicated in many important cellular processes …

Within the cell membrane glycosphingolipids and cholesterol cluster together in distinct
domains or lipid rafts, along with glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins in …

Lipid rafts are plasma membrane microdomains enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids
that are involved in the lateral compartmentalization of molecules at the cell surface …

Biochemical and cell-biological experiments have identified cholesterol as an important
component of lipid 'rafts' and related structures (eg, caveolae) in mammalian cell …

Although caveolae are well-characterized subdomains of glycolipid rafts, their distinctive
morphology and association with caveolins has led to their internalization being considered …

In mammalian cells a complex interplay regulates the distribution of cholesterol between
intracellular membrane compartments. One important aspect of cholesterol regulation is …

The properties of cholesterol-dependent domains (lipid rafts) in cell membranes have been
controversial. Because integrin-mediated cell adhesion and caveolin both regulate …

It is well known that separate domains with different lipid compositions can exist in
liposomes containing mixtures of different phospholipids. The question of whether cellular …
