IDENTIFICATION OF A LIPID SCRAMBLING DOMAIN IN ANO6/TMEM16F

Identification of a lipid scrambling domain in ANO6/TMEM16F

Phospholipid scrambling (PLS) is a ubiquitous cellular mechanism involving the regulated bidirectional transport of phospholipids down their concentration gradient between membrane leaflets.ANO6/TMEM16F has been shown to be essential for Ca2+-dependent PLS, but controversy surrounds whether ANO6 is a phospholipid scramblase or an ion channel like o

The effect of spatial position and age within an egg-clutch on embryonic development and key metabolic enzymes in two clownfish species, Amphiprion ocellaris and Amphiprion frenatus.

Since the size of newly hatched larval fish is directly related to egg size, small differences in initial egg size can be critical to survival and further development of offspring.Underlying processes causing size variation in fish offspring are still not entirely understood.In this study we investigated whether the spatial position of an individua
