Function | [Isoform SCPx]: Plays a crucial role in the peroxisomal oxidation of branched-chain fatty acids (PubMed:10706581). Catalyzes the last step of the peroxisomal beta-oxidation of branched chain fatty acids and the side chain of the bile acid intermediates di- and trihydroxycoprostanic acids (DHCA and THCA) (PubMed:10706581). Also active with medium and long straight chain 3-oxoacyl-CoAs. Stimulates the microsomal conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol and transfers phosphatidylcholine and 7-dehydrocholesterol between membrances, in vitro (By similarity). Isoforms SCP2 and SCPx cooperate in peroxisomal oxidation of certain naturally occurring tetramethyl- branched fatty acyl-CoAs (By similarity). |

Background
This gene encodes two proteins: sterol carrier protein X(SCPx) and sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP2), as a result oftranscription initiation from 2 independently regulated promoters.The transcript initiated from the proximal promoter encodes thelonger SCPx protein, and the transcript initiated from the distalpromoter encodes the shorter SCP2 protein, with the 2 proteinssharing a common C-terminus. Evidence suggests that the SCPxprotein is a peroxisome-associated thiolase that is involved in theoxidation of branched chain fatty acids, while the SCP2 protein isthought to be an intracellular lipid transfer protein. This gene ishighly expressed in organs involved in lipid metabolism, and mayplay a role in Zellweger syndrome, in which cells are deficient inperoxisomes and have impaired bile acid synthesis. Alternativesplicing of this gene produces multiple transcript variants, someencoding different isoforms.
