DROSOPHILA LIPOPHORIN RECEPTORS MEDIATE THE UPTAKE OF NEUTRAL LIPIDS IN OOCYTES AND IMAGINAL DISC CELLS BY AN ENDOCYTOSIS-INDEPENDENT MECHANISM.

Drosophila lipophorin receptors mediate the uptake of neutral lipids in oocytes and imaginal disc cells by an endocytosis-independent mechanism.

Lipids are constantly shuttled through the body to redistribute energy and metabolites between sites of absorption, storage, and catabolism in a complex homeostatic equilibrium.In Drosophila, lipids are transported through the hemolymph in the form of lipoprotein particles, known as lipophorins.The mechanisms by which cells interact with circulatin
