Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-plasma membrane (PM) contacts are sites of lipid exchange and Ca2+ transport, and both lipid transport proteins and Ca2+ channels specifically accumulate at these locations. In pancreatic β-cells, both lipid and Ca2+ signaling are essential for insulin secretion. The recently characterized lipid transfer protein TMEM24 (also known as C2CD2L) dynamically localizes to ER-PM contact sites and provides phosphatidylinositol, a precursor of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate [ ...[more]
