Corpora non agunt nisi fixata. This old saying of Ehrlich's
describing the physi- ological role of receptors and their ligands
might be paraphrased into Corpora non ambulant nisi fixata when
considering lipid transport between and within cells. Volume 16 of
Subcellular Biochemistry is intended to bring the reader up to date
with this young field. Indeed, lipid transfer proteins have only
recently become the subject of a more systematic study. In this
book the current status and the emerging trends are discussed.
Chapters cover protein-mediated transfer of fatty acids,
phospholipids, phosphatidylinositol, glycolipids, dolichol,
retinoids, and cholesterol in animal, plant, yeast, and other
eukaryotic cells. Details are included of the study of lipid
transport proteins by means of fluorescent phos- pholipid analogues
and of the lipid transfer proteins as probes of membrane structure
and function, as well as spontaneous lipid transfer as it occurs
between biological membranes. Some of the chapters should be read
in conjunction with Volume 13 of this series, devoted to
fluorescence studies on biological mem- branes, in particular
Chapter 2 (Somerharju et al. ) concentrating on studies in which
fluorescent phospholipid analogues have been used. Chapter 10
(Bill- heimer and Reinhart), dealing with cholesterol trafficking,
should be compared with Chapter 12 of Volume 13 (Van Blitterswijk),
pointing to the existence of a preferential association of
cholesterol with sphingomyelin, which drags choles- terol to the
plasma membrane. In one chapter (Chapter 8: Van Dessel et al.
