Human gallbladder mucin binds biliary lipids and promotes cholesterol crystal nucleation in model bile
The binding of phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol in model bile to human gallbladder mucin was studied by means of a rapid filtration binding assay and sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation. Numerous low affinity binding sites for phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol were present on gallbladd...
