Function | Sterol-binding protein that mediates cholesterol transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to endosomes (PubMed:11053434, PubMed:15930133, PubMed:22514632, PubMed:28377464, PubMed:33124732). The sterol transport mechanism is triggered by phosphorylation of FFAT motif that leads to membrane tethering between the endoplasmic reticulum and late endosomes via interaction with VAPA and VAPB (PubMed:24105263, PubMed:28377464, PubMed:33124732). Acts as a lipid transfer protein that redirects sterol to the endosome at the expense of the cell membrane and favors membrane formation inside endosomes (PubMed:28377464). May also mediate cholesterol transport between other membranes, such as mitochondria membrane or cell membrane (PubMed:12070139, PubMed:19965586). However, such results need additional experimental evidences; probably mainly mediates cholesterol transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to endosomes (PubMed:28377464). Does not activate transcriptional cholesterol sensing (PubMed:28377464). Able to bind other lipids, such as lutein, a xanthophyll carotenoids that form the macular pigment of the retina (PubMed:21322544). |
Cellular Location | Late endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Localizes to contact sites between the endoplasmic reticulum and late endosomes: associates with the endoplasmic reticulum membrane via interaction with VAPA, VAPB or MOSPD2 |
Tissue Location | Expressed in retina.. |

Background
This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of lipidtrafficking proteins that are characterized by a C-terminalsteroidogenic acute regulatory domain and an N-terminal metastaticlymph node 64 domain. The encoded protein localizes to themembranes of late endosomes and may be involved in exportingcholesterol. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcriptvariants.
