  • Title: Alteration of erythrocyte (see article) -ATPase by replacement of cholesterol by desmosterol in the membrane.
    Author: Fiehn W, Seiler D.
    Journal: Experientia; 1975 Jul 15; 31(7):773-5. PubMed ID: 124662.
    Abstract:
    Cholesterol of red blood cells (RBC) is readily exchanged by desmosterol and vice versa. The resulting alteration in the sterol composition influences the specific (Na+ plus K+)-ATPase activity. It is suggested that this effect is due to an altered membrane fluidity.
