Chapter 18 - Metabolism and Movement of Lipids

cytosolic leaflets

The exoplasmic and ________ distribute membrane phospholipids.

Infection

________ or injury can cause inflammatory responses in the artery wall, which cause foam cells that show atherosclerosis.

ER

The synthesizing final steps are catalyzed by membrane associations in the ________, Golgi, mitochondria, and peroxisomes.

StAR proteins

________ move cholesterol through the mitochondria for the function of steroid hormone synthesis.

atherosclerotic plaques

If the ________ cause partial or complete blockage of the coronary arteries then the heart can not get its needed nutrients, which can ultimately cause a heart attack (similarly, this happening to the brain causes a stroke)

cytosol

The ________ is the main base for the initial steps in cholesterol biosynthesis, and the last steps take place in the ER membrane.

Fatty acids

________ are composed of:

NPC1

________ is needed for cholesterol to move normally into intracellular compartments.

ABC

The ________ superfamily, which is made of ATP hydrolyzing small molecule pumps, controls ________ proteins which control the export of lipids in the cells.

HMG CoA reductase

________ catalyzes the rate- controlling step required for cholesterol biosynthesis.

Plasma LDL

________ (bad cholesterol) causes the formation of foam cells.
