Abstract excerpt
Phospholipids are normally asymmetrically distributed between leaflets of the plasma membrane, due to the activity of aminophospholipid translocase (APT), a putative plasma membrane Mg2(+)-ATPase which is thought to selectively transport phosphatidylserine (PS) and other aminophospholipids from outer to inner membrane leaflet. Although several candidate proteins have been proposed to serve this function, positive...
