ORP2, a homolog of oxysterol binding protein, regulates cellular cholesterol metabolism
Oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) related proteins (ORPs) constitute a family that has at least 12 members in humans. In the present study we characterize one of the novel OSBP homologs, ORP2, which we show to be expressed ubiquitously in mammalian tissues. The ORP2 cDNA encodes a deduced 55 kDa prot...
