Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including cholesterol binding activity; phosphatidylserine transfer activity; and phospholipid binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of glucose import; positive regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cell migration and protein localization to nuclear pore. Located in nuclear membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; immune system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human OSBPL8 (oxysterol binding protein like 8).
