Wellen; Zoltan Arany ABSTRACT Insulin stimulates adipose tissue to extract fatty acids from circulation and sequester them inside adipose cells. How fatty acids are transported...

... exogenous lipids ( Xu et al., 2005 ). Since Plins primarily sequester to LSD surfaces ( Miura et al., 2002 ), we determined if different Plins exhibited differential regulation in response to either fatty acids or cholesterol, lipids that mobilize separate pathways. Y1 mouse adrenocortical cells have...

...) anchors are found at the C terminus of a wide range of cell surface proteins, and may endow the cell with the ability to release them in a controlled fashion via specific phospholipases. We have concentrated on the direct attachment (acylation) of long-chain fatty acids (myristate, C 14:0 and palmitate, C...

...Eitan Fibach; Olivier Morand; Shimon Gatt ABSTRACT Cells were incubated with 12-(l-pyrene)-dodecanoic acid (P12), a long-chain fatty acid to which a pyrene ring has been attached covalently. This acid was transported across the plasma membranes of cells and subsequently incorporated...
