In vitro conversion of squalene from squalene-phospholipid liposomes into sterols by rat liver microsomes and cytosol
When rat liver cytosol, possessing sterol carrier protein (SCP) activity was incubated with [3H]-squalene-phospholipid liposomes, cofactors, and rat liver microsomes, squalene from the liposomes was converted into sterols. When cytosol was omitted from the incubation mixture, only insignificant amou...
