| Description | Corroborating this, in vitro reconstitution assays indicated that STARD3 and its ER-anchored partner, Vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein (VAP), assemble into a machine that allows a highly efficient transport of cholesterol within membrane contacts. |

| Description | The endoplasmic reticulum possesses three major receptors, VAP‐A, VAP‐B, and MOSPD2, which interact with proteins at the surface of other organelles to build contacts; onventional FFATs (illustrated here with STARD11/CERT) which allow the formation of a stable complex between VAPs/MOSPD2 and thus the formation of MCSs. |
