Nonspecific lipid transfer protein (sterol carrier protein-2) defective in patients with deficient peroxisomes.
The biosynthesis and intracellular localization of nonspecific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP) in control human subjects and in patients with peroxisome-deficient disorders were investigated. The molecular mass of human nsLTP was indistinguishable from that of rat nsLTP (13 kDa) by immunoblot analysis. Intracellular localization was identical with that of catalase, a marker enzyme of peroxisomal...
متن کاملSterol carrier protein 2 gene transfer changes lipid metabolism and enterohepatic sterol circulation in mice.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP-2) enhances sterol cycling and facilitates cholesterol translocation between intracellular organelles and plasma membrane in cultured cells, including hepatocytes. We examined the role of SCP-2 in hepatic cholesterol and lipid trafficking through the sinusoidal and canalicular secretory pathways of the liver in vivo. METHODS Recombinant adenovir...
متن کاملPhospholipid binding and transfer by the nonspecific lipid-transfer protein (sterol carrier protein 2). A kinetic model.
The nonspecific lipid-transfer protein (nsL-TP) from bovine liver was studied by measuring the binding and transfer of the fluorescent phospholipid 1-palmitoyl-2-[6-(1-pyrenyl)-hexanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PamPryGroPCho). A kinetic model is presented involving three steps: (a) interaction of nsL-TP with a membrane surface; (b) equilibration of PamPyrGroPCho monomers between the membra...
متن کاملSterol Carrier Protein-2, a Nonspecific Lipid-Transfer Protein, in Intracellular Cholesterol Trafficking in Testicular Leydig Cells
Sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP2), also called nonspecific lipid-transfer protein, is thought to play a major role in intracellular lipid transport and metabolism, and it has been associated with diseases involving abnormalities in lipid trafficking, such as Zellweger syndrome. The Scp2 gene encodes the 58 kDa sterol carrier protein-x (SCPX) and 15 kDa pro-SCP2 proteins, both of which contain a 1...
متن کاملChinese hamster ovary cells deficient in peroxisomes lack the nonspecific lipid transfer protein (sterol carrier protein 2).
Chinese hamster ovary cells deficient in intact peroxisomes were compared with wild type cells for the presence of the nonspecific lipid transfer protein (nsL-TP; sterol carrier protein 2). With the immunoblotting technique using the affinity purified antibody against rat liver nsL-TP, this protein was shown to be present in the homogenates from wild type cells, but could not be detected in mut...
