    Ligand-dependent localization and function of ORP–VAP complexes at membrane contact sites

    Oxysterol-binding protein/OSBP-related proteins (ORPs) constitute a conserved family of sterol/phospholipid-binding proteins with lipid transporter or sensor functions. We investigated the spatial occurrence a...
