BACKGROUND Synaptotagmins(SYTs)are a family of 17 membrane transporters that function as calcium ion sensors during the release of Ca2+-dependent neurotransmitters and hormones.However,few studies have reported whethe...

Most mammalian cells take up cholesterol from low-density lipoproteins(LDLs) via receptor-mediated endocytosis.After reaching lysosomes,LDL-derived cholesterol continues to transport to downstream organelles including...
Cholesterol is an essential component of mammalian cell membranes where it regulates membrane permeability,fluidity,fusion and cell signaling pathways (Chang et al.,2006).Cholesterol must be sorted precisely and trans...

Synaptotagmins (Syts) are a large family of integral membrane proteins that regulate synaptic function and membrane traffcking. Emerging evidences show involvement of Syts in human diseases. Here, we review the rece...
Arabidopsis synaptotagmin 2 (SYT2) has been reported to participate in an unconventional secretory pathway in somatic cells. Our results showed that SYT2 was expressed mainly in the pollen ofArabidopsis thaliana. Th...
