MeSH Heading: Oxysterol Binding Proteins
Tree Number(s): D12.776.826.750.038
Unique ID: D000098825
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000098825
Scope Note: Family of steroid receptors that transport CHOLESTEROL and PHOSPHOLIPIDS. They act as a sensor or transporter of these ligands at contact sites of two different cellular membranes where they function as lipid exchangers, mediating counter-directional transport of two different lipid ligands.
Entry Term(s): OXYB Protein; Oxysterol Binding Protein; Oxysterol Receptor; Oxysterol Receptors; Receptor, Oxysterol
Registry Numbers: 0
