OSBPL6 oxysterol binding protein like 6

Gene ID: 114880, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ORP6

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. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
