G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are membrane proteins that convey extracellular signals to the cellular milieu. They represent a target for more than 30% of currently marketed drugs. Here we review effects cholesterol on function GPCRs Class A. We both specific mediated via its direct high-affinity binding receptor and non-specific by cholesterol-induced changes in properties membrane. Chol...

Cholesterol is responsible for the plasticity of plasma membranes and involved in physiological pathophysiological responses. homeostasis regulated by oxysterols, such as 25-hydroxycholesterol. The presence 25-hydroxycholesterol at membrane level has been shown to interfere with several viruses’ entry into their target cells. We used atomic force microscopy assess effect on different properties...
