Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs) bind phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) and phosphatidylcholine and play diverse roles in coordinating lipid metabolism/signaling with intracellular functions. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Genetic ablation of PITPalpha in mice results in neonatal lethality characterized by intestinal and hepatic steatosis, spinocerebellar neurodegeneration, and glucose...
