Phosphoinositides in Subcellular Targeting and Enzyme Activation /
The reversible recruitment of intracellular protein complexes to membranes is essential for immune cell functions, including chemotaxis, phagocytosis and signalling. Such recruitment is often controlled by phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol, known as phosphoinositides. These lipids a...
