Managing intracellular transport
Formation and normal function of neuronal synapses are intimately dependent on the delivery to and removal of biological materials from synapses by the intracellular transport machinery. Indeed, defects in intracellular transport contribute to the development and aggravation of neurodegenerative disorders. Despite its importance, regulatory mechanisms underlying this machinery remain poorly def...
متن کاملIntracellular cholesterol transport.
Intracellular cholesterol transport is essential for the maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis. Many aspects of cholesterol metabolism are well-known, including its synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum, its extracellular transport in plasma lipoproteins, its uptake by the low-density lipoprotein receptor, and its regulation of SREBP and LXR transcription factors. These fundamental pathways i...
متن کاملIntracellular metal transport proteins
Metal ions are essential cofactors for functional expressions of many proteins in living organisms. In cells, several trace elements are needed to activate and stabilize enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, metalloproteases, protein kinases, and transcriptional factors containing zinc finger proteins. Recently, intracellular metal trafficking proteins, that carry metal ions to specific target...
متن کاملIntracellular cholesterol transport.
correct intracellular distribution of cholesterol among cellular membranes is essential for many biological functions of mammalian cells, including signal transduction and membrane traffic. Intracellular trafficking plays a major role in the proper disposition of internalized cholesterol and in the regulation of cholesterol efflux. Despite the importance of the transport and distribution of cho...
متن کاملIntracellular sterol transport and distribution.
Sterols are important components of many biological membranes, and changes in sterol levels can have dramatic effects on membrane properties. Sterols are transported rapidly between cellular organelles by vesicular and nonvesicular processes. Recent studies have identified transmembrane proteins that facilitate the removal of sterols from membranes as well as soluble cytoplasmic proteins that p...
