Oxysterol-binding protein homolog 1

UniProtKB accession:  P35845

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Lipid transport protein (LTP) involved in non-vesicular transfer of lipids between membranes. Functions in phosphoinositide-coupled directional transport of various lipids by carrying the lipid molecule in a hydrophobic pocket and transferring it between membranes through the cytosol. Involved in maintenance of intracellular sterol distribution and homeostasis (PubMed:8017104, PubMed:11238399, PubMed:15173322). Involved in non-vesicular transport of ergosterol and PI(4)P at the NVJ. Binds sterol and PI4P in a mutually exclusive manner (PubMed:28319008). May be involved in formation of PMN vesicles by altering the membrane lipid composition (PubMed:15173322).
