Abstract:
:The ability of cells to utilize cholesterol derived from lipoprotein is important in plasma membrane biosynthesis, steroidogenesis and the regulation of sterol synthesis. While the endocytosis of lipoprotein-derived cholesterol has been well characterized, the subsequent events that mediate its post-lysosomal intracellular transport are not understood. Recent studies have suggested that vimentin-type intermediate filaments may have a role in cholesterol transport. The mechanism by which vimentin filaments affect this process is not known, but future studies promise to provide new insights into both the post-lysosomal transport of cholesterol and the intracellular functions of intermediate filaments.
