Abstract excerpt
Non-vesicular lipid transfer at membrane contact sites (MCS) is proposed as a key principle in eukaryotic cells. While several lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are localized at MCS, their physiological significance is poorly understood. Ceramide transfer protein (CERT) transfers ceramide between membranes in vitro. However, evidence for the in vivo significance of CERT function is limited. We find that loss of...
