Abstract
⺠FAPP2 enables glycosphingolipid synthesis in the Golgi by transfer of glucosylceramide. ⺠FAPP2 contains a modified GLTP-fold that can also transfer other neutral glycosphingolipids. ⺠Glycolipid selectivity of FAPP2-GLTP is more focused than human GLTP. ⺠Glycolipid compartmentation appears to mute evolutionary selection pressure and divergence.
