Glycolipid transfer protein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glycolipid transfer protein is a cytosolic protein that catalyses the transfer of glycolipids between different intracellular membranes.
This protein transport primarily different glycosphingolipids and glyceroglycolipids between intracellular membranes, but not phospholipids. It might be also involved in translocation of glucosylceramides. It was found in brain, kidney, spleen, lung, cerebellum, liver and heart.
