Membrane microdomains in hepatocytes: potential target areas for proteins involved in canalicular bile secretion
The formation of hepatic bile requires that water be transported across liver epithelia. Rat hepatocytes express three aquaporins (AQPs): AQP8, AQP9, and AQP0. Recognizing that cholesterol and sphingolipids are thought to promote the assembly of proteins into specialized membrane microdomains, we hy...
