Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 23762
Gene name Oxysterol binding protein 2
Gene symbol OSBP2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
HLMORP-4ORP4OSBPL1OSBPL4
Chromosome 22
Chromosome location 22q12.2
Summary The protein encoded by this gene contains a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and an oxysterol-binding region. It binds oxysterols such as 7-ketocholesterol and may inhibit their cytotoxicity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isof
