Ceramide displaces cholesterol from lipid rafts and decreases the association of the cholesterol binding protein caveolin-1
Addition of exogenous ceramide causes a significant displacement of cholesterol in lipid raft model membranes. However, whether ceramide-induced cholesterol displacement is sufficient to alter the protein composition of caveolin-enriched lipid raft membranes is unknown. Therefore, we examined whethe...
