Abstract
Phospholipid distribution across the lipid bilayer of plasma membranes is critical for various cellular functions. A genome-wide screen and structural analysis identified TMEM63B as a membrane structure-responsive lipid scramblase. In response to changes in membrane structure, TMEM63B alters its conformation and translocates phospholipids, thereby controlling plasma membrane lipid distribution.
