| Abstract | Milk fat globule membranes (MFGM) and rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) membranes were isolated from milk and lactating mammary gland from the cow and were characterized by biochemical and electron microscope methods in terms of gross composition (proteins, phospholipids, neutral lipids, cholesterol, RNA, and DNA) and purity. Both fractions contained significant amounts of a b-type cytochrome with several properties similar to those of cytochrome b5 from liver, as well as a rotenone- insensitive NADH- and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. The b-type cytochrome content in the apical plasma membrane-derived MFGM was of the same order of magnitude as it was in RER membranes. It was characterized by a high resistance to extraction by low- and high-salt concentrations and nonionic detergents. MFGM contained much more flavin and much higher activities of xanthine oxidase than the RER membranes. The same redox components were found in MFGM and mammary RER from women, rats, mice, and goats, but in absolute contents great differences between the species were noted. The cytochromes described here differed from liver cytochrome b5 in some spectral properties. The alpha-band of the reduced hepatic cytochrome b5 is asymmetric with a maximum at 555 nm that is split into two distinct peaks at low temperatures. The alpha-band of the b-type cytochromes from MFGM and mammary RER appears as one symmetrical peak at about 560 nm that is not split at low temperatures. When treated with cyanide, MFGM and mammary microsomes showed difference spectra of a reduced b-type cytochrome. Under the same conditions, liver microsomes gave a completely different spectrum. These findings demonstrate the presence of a b-type cytochrome and associated redox enzymes in MFGM, i.e., a derivative of the apical cell surface membrane that is regularly used for envelopment of the milk fat globule during secretion. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
