A lipid transfer protein ensures nematode cuticular impermeability

A lipid transfer protein ensures nematode cuticular impermeability

Summary: The cuticle of C. elegans is impermeable to chemicals, toxins, and pathogens. However, increased permeability is a desirable phenotype because it facilitates chemical uptake. Surface lipids contribute to the permeability barrier. Here, we identify the lipid transfer protein GMAP-1 as a crit...
