Full name: oxysterol binding protein like 1A

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: ORP-1; ORP1; OSBPL1B

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the oxysterol-binding protein (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, although some members contain only the sterol-binding domain. Transcript variants derived from alternative promoter usage and/or alternative splicing exist; they encode different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Expression: Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 18.5), fat (RPKM 17.7) and 24 other tissues

Gene size: 235780bp

Exon count: 30
