Topography of Lipid Droplet-Associated Proteins: Insights from Freeze-Fracture Replica Immunogold Labeling

Figure 5

Adipophilin in cellular membranes. Survey freeze-fracture view of a lipid-laden macrophage immunogold-labeled for adipophilin. Apart from positive labeling in the periphery of lipid droplets prominent label is seen in the P face of the plasma membrane (PL) and ER membranes. The E faces of the ER, mitochondrial and vesicle membranes are devoid of label. Inset: higher magnification of the P face of ER and plasma membrane. M mitochondria. Bar: 0.2 μm.
