A FIT2–BLTP1 module sustains lipid droplet phosphatidic acid and restrains overgrowth

Lipid droplets (LDs) are assembled at discrete endoplasmic reticulum (ER) subdomains whose local phospholipid composition, rather than their protein content alone, determines whether a LD nucleates and how large it grows. Phosphatidic acid (PA) is the pivotal lipid of this environment, yet how PA reaches a forming LD h...
