Vesicular transport: Sticky fingers grab a lipid
Claudia Wiedemann1 & Shamshad Cockcroft1
Inositol lipids first came into the limelight in the 1980s when they were identified as a source of second messengers after cleavage by phospholipase C. In the 1990s they emerged under a different guise — intact inositol lipids were found to interact directly with proteins and to participate in exocytosis (release of messenger molecules from cells), cytoskeletal reorganization and vesicle transport.
- Claudia Wiedemann and Shamshad Cockcroft are in the Department of Physiology, Rockefeller Building, University College, London WC1E 6JJ, UK.
