Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) and OSBP-related proteins (ORPs) constitute one of the
largest families of lipid-binding/transfer proteins (LTPs) in eukaryotes. The current view is …

Numerous processes contribute to the regulation of G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs),
but relatively little is known about rapid mechanisms that control signaling on the seconds …

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a broad-spectrum disease, ranging from simple
hepatic steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, which can progress to cirrhosis and liver …

Communication between TRPC channels and IP 3 receptors (IP 3 R) is considered pivotal in
the generation of spatiotemporal Ca 2+ signaling patterns. Here we revisited the role of …

Dysfunctional skin barrier and impaired skin homeostasis may lead to or aggravate a series
of dermatologic diseases. A large variety of biological events and bioactive molecules are …

Oxysterol-binding protein-related proteins (ORPs) form a large family of intracellular lipid
