1 Whereas NK-2 has no effect on phosphatidylcholine liposomes, it enhances the fluidity of phosphatidylethanolamine acyl chains and lowers the phase transition enthalpy of the gel to liquid cristalline transition. phosphatidylethanolamine NK2 homeobox 1 Homo sapiens
2 The most dramatic effect, however, was observed for the lamellar/inverted hexagonal transition of phosphatidylethanolamine which was reduced by more than 10 degrees C. Thus, NK-2 promotes a negative membrane curvature which can lead to the collapse of the phosphatidylethanolamine-rich bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. phosphatidylethanolamine NK2 homeobox 1 Homo sapiens
