The directed movement of lipids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Lipids are compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent. The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of glycolipids, compounds containing (usually) 1-4 linked monosaccharide residues joined by a glycosyl linkage to a lipid, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The translocation, or flipping, of glycolipid molecules from one monolayer of a membrane bilayer to the opposite monolayer. Any process by which a lipid is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location.
