Term Name: glycolipid transfer activity
Synonyms: glycolipid carrier activity, glycolipid transporter activity, intermembrane glycolipid transfer activity, intermembrane glycolipid transporter activity
Definition: Removes a glycolipid from a membrane or a monolayer lipid particle, transports it through the aqueous phase while protected in a hydrophobic pocket, and brings it to an acceptor membrane or lipid particle. A glycolipid is a compound usually containing 1-4 linked monosaccharide residues joined by a glycosyl linkage to a lipid.
