Recombinant Human Oxysterol-binding protein-related protein 1 (OSBPL1A), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q9BXW6

Target Species

Human

Target Name

OSBPL1A

Target Full Name

Oxysterol-binding protein-related protein 1

Target Function

Binds phospholipids; exhibits strong binding to phosphatidic acid and weak binding to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. Stabilizes GTP-bound RAB7A on late endosomes/lysosomes and alters functional properties of late endocytic compartments via its interaction with RAB7A. Binds 25-hydroxycholesterol and cholesterol.

Target Subcellular Location

Late endosome. Note=Colocalizes with RAB7A, RAB9A and LAMP1 in late endosomes.

Target Protein Families

OSBP family

Target Background

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, although some members contain only the sterol-binding domain. Transcript variants derived from alternative promoter usage and/or alternative splicing exist; they encode different isoforms.
