Phospholipids and cholesterol must be transported from their site of synthesis to various membrane systems within cells.

Question:

Phospholipids and cholesterol must be transported from their site of synthesis to various membrane systems within cells. One way of doing this is through vesicular transport, as is the case for many proteins in the secretory pathway. However, most phospholipid and cholesterol membrane-to-membrane transport in cells is nor by vesicular transport. What is the evidence for this statement? What appear to be the major mechanisms for phospholipid and cholesterol transport?
