Protein Domain : Lipid-binding protein POX18/UbiT/NSL-TP1 IPR039543

Type	Family
Description	This entry includes poorly characterised, lipid-binding proteins containing an SCP2 sterol-binding domain. Non-specific lipid-transfer protein-like 1 (NSL-TP1 or nlt-1) from Caenorhabditis elegansis found in the peroxisome. Protein UbiT (also known as YhbT) from Escherichia coliis cytosolic. The oleate-induced peroxisomal protein POX18 from the yeast Candida tropicalis, which is involved in beta-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids and nonspecific lipid-transfer activity, despite not having the catalytic cysteine conserved [ ]. In vitro Arabidopsis thalianaSCP2 (AtSCP2) has been shown to enhance the transfer of lipids between membranes [ ] and is localised in the peroxisome [].
