Prothymosin alpha-receptor associates with lipid rafts in PHA-stimulated lymphocytes.

abstract：:That some membranes restrict certain lipid species to one side of the bilayer and others to the opposite side has been known for two decades. However, how this asymmetric transbilayer distribution is generated and controlled, how many and what type of membranes are so structured, and even the reason for its existence ...
