Predicted to enable several functions, including adenyl ribonucleotide binding activity; protein dimerization activity; and sterol transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol transport; plasma lipoprotein particle remodeling; and positive regulation of cholesterol biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within cholesterol transport. Located in external side of plasma membrane and recycling endosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ.
