Radiolabeled hexadecyl cholesteryl ether can serve as an effective marker for liposomes in a variety of studies. This paper demonstrates the use of a cholesteryl ether marker in the assay of phospholipid transfer protein activity and in assessing phospholipid vesicle‐cell interactions. The cholesteryl ether has the advantages of ease of synthesis, metabolic inertness, lipid solubility and nonexchangeability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
