Transverse organization of phospholipids across the bilayer of plasma-membrane subfractions of rat hepatocytes.

J A Higgins, W H Evans
PMCID: PMC1185948  PMID: 708408

Abstract

Phospholipase C treatment of vesicular subfractions of plasma membranes derived from the three functional domains of rat liver indicated that there is an asymmetric distribution of phospholipids across the bilayer of these membranes. The bile-canalicular and sinusoidal membranes were similar and different from the contiguous membrane.
