Abstract

A number of membrane trafficking components are associated with lipid droplets ( LDs) and/or are involved in their biogenesis. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Li et al () show that the mammalian TRAPPII ( TRAnsport Protein Particle) complex acts as an LD-associated GEF for Rab18, thereby regulating LD homeostasis.
