Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cholesterol binding activity and sterol transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of cholesterol transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid transport. Predicted to be located in early endosome membrane and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including cytosol; nuclear membrane; and perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; foregut; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and hindlimb interdigital region. Orthologous to human OSBPL6 (oxysterol binding protein like 6).
