Description

oxysterol binding protein-like 8

Gene Summary

This gene encodes a member of the oxysterol-binding protein (Osbp) family, a group of intracellular lipid receptors. Like most members, the encoded protein contains an N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain and a highly conserved C-terminal Osbp-like sterol-binding domain. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
