In plasma membranes, lipids distribute asymmetrically across the bilayer, a process that
requires proteins. Recent work identified novel lipid translocators in yeast, and their activity
was functionally correlated to endocytosis, thus boosting investigations on identity,
mechanism, and function of lipid translocases.
