Abstract:
Sphingolipids are a family of ubiquitous membrane components that exhibit multiple functional properties fundamental to cell properties. Sphingolipid transport represents a crucial aspect in the metabolism, signaling and biological role of sphingolipids. Different mechanisms of sphingolipid movements contribute to their selective localization in different membranes but also in different portions and sides of the same membrane, thus ensuring and regulating their interaction with different enzymes and target molecules.
In this chapter we will describe the knowledge of the different mechanisms of sphingolipid movements within and between membranes, focusing on the recent advances in this field and considering the role played by selective sphingolipid molecules in the regulation of these mechanisms.
