The protein carriers of hundreds of lipids have been identified

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Different types of lipid molecule are transported around the cell by lipid-transfer proteins. Biochemical approaches have been adapted to measure which lipids are captured by the more than 130 known human lipid-transfer proteins, providing a valuable resource that reveals some principles of how these transporters work. A map of pairings between lipids and the transport proteins that move them around the cell has been built.
