Lipid Transfer Protein Research group

Our research focuses on the glycolipid transfer protein GLTP. We are studying the involvement of GLTP at the ER exit sites and the intracellular vesicular trafficking, and how myelin lipid production is affected and why GLTP. The interplay between GLTP and enzymes responsible for sphingolipid synthesis, the consequences of silencing GLTP on sphingolipid production, and the identification of proteins interacting with GLTP are also being studied.
