Perimicrovillar membrane assembly: the fate of phospholipids synthesised by the midgut of Rhodnius prolixus
In this study, we describe the fate of fatty acids that are incorporated from the lumen by the posterior midgut epithelium of Rhodnius prolixus and the biosynthesis of lipids. We also demonstrate that neutral lipids (NL) are transferred to the haemolymphatic lipophorin (Lp) and that phospholipids re...
