Cellular Cholesterol Loss Impairs Synaptic Vesicle Mobility via the CAMK2/Synapsin-1 Signaling Pathway by Atikam Qurban, Mengqi Zhang, Hengbing Zu, Kai Yao

“…Furthermore, cells with DHCR24 knock-down showed downregulation of caveolin-1, a crucial lipid raft marker, compared to control cells. Conversely, elevated cellular cholesterol levels caused by knock-in of DHCR24 reversed the effects of cholesterol deficiency, suggesting that CAMK2-mediated synapsin-1 phosphorylation may be regulated in a lipid raft-associated manner. …”
