Pctp - phosphatidylcholine transfer protein Gene

Also Known as PC-TP; StarD2

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 18559

Summary

Predicted to enable phosphatidylcholine binding activity and phosphatidylcholine transporter activity. Involved in negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within Cholesterol metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; intestine; liver; and stomach. Orthologous to human PCTP (phosphatidylcholine transfer protein).
