Osbp - oxysterol binding protein Gene

Predicted to enable several functions, including phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate binding activity; sterol binding activity; and sterol transfer activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of Insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus; positive regulation of secretory granule organization; and positive regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT protein. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; nuclear lumen; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol; perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; immune system; liver; and retina nuclear layer. Orthologous to human OSBP (oxysterol binding protein).
