OSBP2 - oxysterol binding protein 2 Gene
Also Known as HLM; ORP4; ORP-4; OSBPL1; OSBPL4
Species: Homo sapiens
About OSBP2
This gene has 19 transcripts (splice variants), 205 orthologues and 11 paralogues. Broad expression in bone marrow (RPKM 10.4), testis (RPKM 8.8) and 17 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene contains a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and an oxysterol-binding region. It binds oxysterols such as 7-ketocholesterol and may inhibit their cytotoxicity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
