Abstract: | Summary By incubation of human erythrocyte ghosts with cholesterol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.6) part of the cholesterol of the membrane is replaced by 4-cholesten-3-one. This alteration in the sterol composition is accompanied by an inhibition of the (Na+, K+) ATPase of the erythrocyte membrane.Acknowledgments.
