**Background of CERT Recombinant Protein**
The Ceramide Transfer Protein (CERT), also known as StAR-related lipid transfer domain protein 11 (STARD11), is a key mediator of intracellular ceramide transport, primarily facilitating the non-vesicular transfer of ceramide from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus. This process is critical for the synthesis of sphingomyelin, a major component of cell membranes. CERT contains a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain that binds phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) in the Golgi, a START domain responsible for ceramide binding/transfer, and a FFAT motif that interacts with ER-resident VAP proteins, enabling ER-Golgi tethering.
Dysregulation of CERT is implicated in ceramide metabolism disorders, cancer progression, and neurodegenerative diseases. For instance, aberrant CERT activity may disrupt sphingolipid homeostasis, influencing cell survival, apoptosis, and chemoresistance. Recombinant CERT protein, produced via heterologous expression systems (e.g., *E. coli* or mammalian cells), serves as a vital tool for studying these mechanisms. Its recombinant form enables *in vitro* analysis of lipid transfer kinetics, structural characterization (e.g., X-ray crystallography), and screening of therapeutic compounds targeting sphingolipid pathways.
Recent studies highlight CERT's potential as a drug target. Inhibitors blocking its ceramide-binding START domain or ER-Golgi interactions could modulate sphingolipid levels, offering therapeutic avenues for cancers or metabolic syndromes. Additionally, recombinant CERT aids in deciphering crosstalk between sphingolipids and cellular signaling networks, advancing our understanding of membrane biology and disease pathogenesis.
