Annotation
We will characterize selected phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs) with the relationship to intracellular lipid transfer. We will study the role of these PITPs in yeasts and higher eukaryotes. Some PITPs can be targets of antifungal therapies, other are potential human oncomarkers.
