Release of Phospholipids from Erythrocyte Membranes by Taurocholate Is Determined by Their Transbilayer Orientation and Hydrophobic Backbone

Bile salts mediate a specific release of phosphatidylcholine (PC) from the canalicular membrane into the bile fluid. We utilized human red blood cells (RBC) as a model system to study the release of endogenous phospholipids as well as phospholipid analogues from plasma membranes in the presence of t...
