OSBP2 oxysterol binding protein 2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 23762)

Symbol: OSBP2

Full name: oxysterol binding protein 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: HLM; ORP-4; ORP4; OSBPL1; OSBPL4

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene contains a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and an oxysterol-binding region. It binds oxysterols such as 7-ketocholesterol and may inhibit their cytotoxicity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]

Expression: Broad expression in bone marrow (RPKM 10.4), testis (RPKM 8.8) and 17 other tissues

Orthologs: mouse

Gene size: 214032bp

Exon count: 19
