Abstract

Lipids play important roles in a variety of cellular trafficking and signaling pathways, and in maintaining homeostasis within eukaryotic cells. This review aims at discussing the various classes of lipids present in cellular membranes, as well as their roles, and an up-to-date discussion of the impact of membrane lipid composition on vesicular trafficking and associated diseases.
