General Information
Term sterol transport ID (Ontology) GO:0015918 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The directed movement of sterols into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Sterols are steroids with one or more hydroxyl groups and a hydrocarbon side-chain in the molecule.
