Sterols are important components of eukaryotic membranes, but rare in bacteria. Some bacteria obtain sterols from their host or environment. In some cases, these sterols form membrane domains analogous the lipid rafts proposed to exist in eukaryotic membranes. This review describes the properties and roles of sterols in Borrelia and Helicobacter.
甾醇是真核细胞膜的重要组成部分,但在细菌中却很罕见。一些细菌从宿主或环境中获取甾醇。在某些情况下,这些甾醇会形成类似于真核细胞膜中存在的脂筏的膜结构域。这篇综述描述了甾醇在疏螺旋体属和幽门螺杆菌中的特性和作用。
