title:
Amphipathic lipid packing sensor motifs
text:
Amphipathic Lipid Packing Sensor (ALPS) motifs were first identified in 2005 in ARFGAP1 and have been reviewed. The curving of a phospholipid bilayer, for example into a liposome, causes disturbances to the packing of the lipids on the side of the bilayer that has the larger surface area. The less "ordered" or "looser" packing of the lipids is recognized by ALPS motifs. ALPS motifs are 20 to 40 amino acid long portions of proteins that have important collections of types of amino acid residues.
