Integration of soluble tetrodotoxin-sensitive brain proteins with liposomal membranes

  • Published:
Neurophysiology Aims and scope

Abstract

Interaction of tetrodotoxin-sensitive proteins of the soluble cytoplasmic fraction of mammalian brain with liposomes was studied. Tetrodotoxin-sensitive proteins were shown to be incorporated in an orderly transmembrane manner into liposomes of a particular chemical composition (phosphatidylcholine-phosphatidylserine-cholesterol, brain phospholipids-cholesterol).
