Oxysterol-binding protein-related protein 3 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the ''OSBPL3''
gene.
Function
This gene encodes a member of the
oxysterol-binding protein
The oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins (ORPs) are a family of lipid transfer proteins (LTPs). Concretely, they constitute a family of sterol and phosphoinositide binding and transfer proteins in eukaryotes that are conserved from y ...
(OSBP) family, a group of intracellular lipid receptors. Most members contain an N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain and a highly conserved C-terminal OSBP-like sterol-binding domain. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
