Abstract excerpt
The conserved VPS13 proteins constitute a new family of lipid transporters at membrane contact sites. These large proteins are suspected to bridge membranes and form a direct channel for lipid transport between organelles. Mutations in the 4 human homologs (VPS13A-D) are associated with a number of neurological disorders, but little is known about their precise functions or the relevant contact sites affected in...
