Vitamin E recycling in human erythrocyte membranes.
Vitamin E, the major lipid chain-breaking antioxidant in erythrocyte membranes, is present in low concentration, suggesting that mechanisms should exist to protect against its loss. Enzymatic pathways for the recycling of vitamin E from its tocopheroxyl radical have been observed previously in inner membranes of mitochondria and microsomes. These pathways use electron transport enzymes and thei...
متن کاملRecycling of vitamin E in human low density lipoproteins.
Oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins (LDL) and their unrestricted scavenger receptor-dependent uptake is believed to account for cholesterol deposition in macrophage-derived foam cells. It has been suggested that vitamin E that is transported by LDL plays a critical role in protecting against LDL oxidation. We hypothesize that the maintenance of sufficiently high vitamin E concent...
متن کاملHuman erythrocyte membranes contain a cytochrome b561 that may be involved in extracellular ascorbate recycling.
Human erythrocytes contain an unidentified plasma membrane redox system that can reduce extracellular monodehydroascorbate by using intracellular ascorbate (Asc) as an electron donor. Here we show that human erythrocyte membranes contain a cytochrome b(561) (Cyt b(561)) and hypothesize that it may be responsible for this activity. Of three evolutionarily closely related Cyts b(561), immunoblots...
متن کاملPolyphosphoinositide localization in human erythrocyte membranes
The asymmetrical distribution of the major phospholipids in biological membranes is now well established (Op den Kamp, 1979; Etemadi, 1980; van Deenen, 1981). In erythrocytes, the choline-containing phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) and sphingomyelin are mainly located within the outer half of the membrane bilayer and the amino-containing phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine within the in...
متن کاملGlucose Transport Carrier in Human Erythrocyte Membranes
The effect of D-glucose on dinitrophenylation of membrane proteins of human erythrocyte ghosts by I-fluoro-2,4-dinltrobenzene was studied in the absence and in the presence of D-glucose. A double isotopic, differential labeling technique followed by gel electrophoresis of extracts in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate revealed the presence of a polypeptide, or polypeptides, in human erythro...
