Protein Domain : Oxysterol-binding protein IPR000648

Type  Family
Description  A number of eukaryotic proteins that seem to be involved with sterol synthesis and/or its regulation have been found [ ] to be evolutionary related. These include mammalian oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP), a protein of about 800 amino-acid residues that binds a variety of oxysterols (oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol) [, ]; yeast Osh1, a protein of 859 residues that also plays a role in ergosterol synthesis []; yeast proteins Hes1 and Kes1, highly related proteins of 434 residues that seem to play a role in ergosterol synthesis [, ]; Probable transporter efuK from the fungi Hormonema carpetanum, which is involved in the biosynthesis of enfumafungin []; and OSBP-related proteins (ORP) from plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana [].
