Erythrocyte membrane lipids in Friedreich's ataxia. 1979

P Draper, and Y S Huang, and D Shapcott, and B Lemieux, and M Brennan, and A Barbeau, and J Davignon

In a study of the lipid composition of erythrocyte membranes in Friedreich's ataxia, the concentration of the major membrane components (phospholipids, cholesterol and protein) in ataxic patients, family members, and control subjects were found to be the same. The total fatty acid distribution was also normal. However, an altered distribution of phospholipid classes in erythrocytes was noted (an increase of PI + PS and a decrease of PE in Friedreich's ataxia patients).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D008565 Membrane Proteins Proteins which are found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. They consist of two types, peripheral and integral proteins. They include most membrane-associated enzymes, antigenic proteins, transport proteins, and drug, hormone, and lectin receptors.

D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.
