Extensive membrane contact sites (MCSs) in mammalian cells. MCSs exist widely in cell and regulate exchanges signaling and regulates cellular functions. The common strategy for studying MCSs consists of various microscopies and biochemical approaches. Multiple canonical protein complexes have been reported to regulate MCSs, such as VDAC-IP3R-Grp 75 complex at ER-mitochondria MCS. Some MCSs, such as mitochondria-endosome MCS, Golgi-autophagosome MCS and lysosome-peroxisome MCS, are not shown due to limited space in this figure.
