Abstract
Protein mediated phospholipid translocation through membranes has been observed in rat liver endoplasmic reticulum and in the plasma membrane of erythrocytes as well as in a few other cell membranes. Lipid translocation in plasma membranes is ATP dependent and selectively accumulates aminophospholipids on the inner monolayers.
