Abstract excerpt
The synthesis and transport of lipids are essential events for membrane biogenesis. However, little is known about how intracellular trafficking of lipids is regulated. Ceramide is synthesized at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transported by the ceramide transfer protein CERT to the Golgi apparatus, where it is converted to sphingomyelin. CERT has a phosphoinositide-binding pleckstrin homology (PH) domain for...
