Abstract

Regional differences in the lateral \nmobility properties of plasma membrane \nlipids were studied in unfertilized and \nfertilized Xenopus eggs by fluorescence \nphotobleaching recovery (FPR) measurements. \nOut of a variety of commonly used \nlipid probes only the aminofluorescein- \n-1abelled fatty acids HEDAF (5-(N-hexadecanoyl)- \naminofluorescein) and TEDAF \n(5-(N-tetradecanoyl)-aminofluorescein) \nappear to distribute itself in the plasma \nmembrane. Under all experimental conditions \nused these molecules show partial \nrecovery upon photobleaching, indicating \nthe existence of lipidic microdomains.
