Description

oxysterol-binding protein related protein HES1

Gene Summary

Enables oxysterol binding activity and sterol transfer activity. Involved in several processes, including maintenance of cell polarity; piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus; and sterol transport. Located in cellular bud neck and fungal-type vacuole membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 67. Orthologous to human OSBPL2 (oxysterol binding protein like 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
