Cholesterol- and glycolipid-enriched microdomains within the plasma membrane of animal cells, including neurons, have been purified and used as a low-density membrane domain after extraction with Triton X-100 (raft), or after subcellular fractionation without detergent (LDM). In this study, we compared the protein compositions in the raft and the LDM. Membrane receptors, acylated- and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)- anchored proteins were enriched in the LDM. Further treatment of the LDM with Triton X-100 excluded the membrane receptors, TrkBs and insulin receptor beta. In the presence of calcium ions, the endogenous tyrosine kinase activities in the LDM and the raft were enhanced, suggesting an important role of calcium ions in the signal transduction via the LDM and the raft.
