    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm
    basic FUNCTION
  • catalyzing the transfer of glycosphingolipids and glycoglycerolipids between donor and acceptor membranes
  • potential regulators of cell processes mediated by glycosphingolipids, ranging from differentiation and proliferation to invasive adhesion, neurodegeneration and apoptosis
  • may be involved in the intracelular translocation of glucosylceramides, as a glycolipid sensor (Tuuf 2007)
  • potential role of GLTP in the endoplasmic reticulum association
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, differentiation
    cell life, cell death/apoptosis

    REGULATION
    Other regulation via mechanistic participation of Sp1/Sp3 transcription factors in a manner influenced by ceramide but not by related sphingolipid metabolites
