About the Cover
COVER:
Lipid-enriched microdomains (red) of the plasma membrane of hepatocytes.
Distinct membrane microdomain regions of the hepatocyte plasma membrane,
enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids, are thought to target and physically
cluster functionally related "flux proteins" for water [aquaporins (AQP8, 9)],
ions, solutes [chloride-bicarbonate anion exchanger isoform-2 (AE2) and
multidrug resistance associated protein 2 (MRP2)] involved in canalicular bile secretion.
