Abstract

Background: Oxysterols are a class of emerging signaling molecules whose cell biology is poorly understood. Results: A click chemistry-based imaging strategy shows that 20(S)-hydroxycholesterol accumulates in Golgi membranes in a process that depends on ATP and lysosome function. Conclusion: 20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol is transported through a vesicular pathway to the Golgi. Significance: Specific transport pathways may regulate the oxysterol content of cellular membranes.
