The influence of membrane microviscosity on 5'-nucleotidase activity has been investigated on liver plasma membrane preparations from rats during aging and following diet restriction. In addition the microviscosity of membranes from old rats was changed in vitro by the Active Lipids. During aging the membrane microviscosity increased progressively and in parallel the activity of 5'-nucleotidase decreased. Diet restriction was able to slow down the modification of both parameters. The experiment performed with the Active Lipids further supports that membrane microviscosity modulated the enzyme activity.

D008563 Membrane Lipids Lipids, predominantly phospholipids, cholesterol and small amounts of glycolipids found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. These lipids may be arranged in bilayers in the membranes with integral proteins between the layers and peripheral proteins attached to the outside. Membrane lipids are required for active transport, several enzymatic activities and membrane formation.

D015720 5'-Nucleotidase A glycoprotein enzyme present in various organs and in many cells. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of a 5'-ribonucleotide to a ribonucleoside and orthophosphate in the presence of water. It is cation-dependent and exists in a membrane-bound and soluble form.
