Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cholesterol binding activity and sterol transporter activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell projection; endoplasmic reticulum; and nucleus. 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; genitourinary system; immune system; olfactory epithelium; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human OSBPL3 (oxysterol binding protein like 3).
