Natural Ligand-Mimetic and Nonmimetic Inhibitors of the Ceramide Transport Protein CERT
Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are recognized as key players in the inter-organelle trafficking of lipids and are rapidly gaining attention as a novel molecular target for medicinal products. In mammalian cells, ceramide is newly synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and converted to sphingo...
