Bridge-like lipid transfer protein family member 3A (BLTP3A)

BLTP3A is a member of the bridge-like lipid transfer protein (BLTP) family, proteins which form elongated rod-like structures containing internal hydrophobic grooves that can transfer multiple lipid molecules simultaneously between organelles at tight membrane contact sites[2][3][5]. BLTP3A is primarily localized to intracellular organelles, such as the late endosome, and may be involved in retrograde vesicular trafficking and general lipid homeostasis within cells[2]. The BLTP protein family is structurally characterized by repeating β-groove (RBG) domains that assemble into a tube-shaped scaffold spanning membrane interfaces and facilitating non-vesicular lipid exchange[3][5]. BLTP3A does not have established functions as a drug target, receptor, or enzyme, and its roles in human disease, though potentially implicated in rare disorders, are still under investigation[2][3][5].
