Identification of the N-terminal transmembrane domain of StarD7 and its importance for mitochondrial outer membrane localization and phosphatidylcholine transfer

Identification of the N-terminal transmembrane domain of StarD7 and its importance for mitochondrial outer membrane localization and phosphatidylcholine transfer

Abstract StarD7 facilitates phosphatidylcholine (PC) transfer to mitochondria, and is essential for mitochondrial homeostasis. However, the molecular mechanism for PC transfer by protein remains poorly understood. Herein, we describe a putative novel transmembrane (TM) domain C-terminal to the mitoc...
