General Information
Term lipid transfer activity ID (Ontology) GO:0120013 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Removes a lipid from a membrane or a monolayer lipid particle, transports it through the aqueous phase while protected in a hydrophobic pocket, and brings it to an acceptor membrane or lipid particle. This results in intermembrane transfer of lipids.[ PubMed:20823909 PubMed:24220498 PubMed:25797198 ]
Also Known As"intermembrane lipid transfer activity"
