Bovine gallbladder mucin promotes cholesterol crystal nucleation from cholesterol-transporting vesicles in supersaturated model bile.
This study examined the ability of purified gallbladder mucin to accelerate the nucleation of cholesterol monohydrate crystals from the cholesterol-transporting particles in supersaturated model bile. Mixed lipid micelles and cholesterol-phosphatidylcholine vesicles in supersaturated model bile were...
