Scp2 - sterol carrier protein 2 Gene

Also Known as SCPx; NSLIPTR

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 25541

Summary

Enables C-acyltransferase activity; identical protein binding activity; and lipid transfer activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cholesterol; monocarboxylic acid metabolic process; and positive regulation of Cholesterol biosynthetic process. Located in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum; mitochondrion; and peroxisomal matrix. Is extrinsic component of mitochondrial outer membrane. Orthologous to human SCP2 (sterol carrier protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
