Function | Binds cholesterol and a range of oxysterols. Cholesterol binding promotes the formation of a complex with PP2A and a tyrosine phosphatase which dephosphorylate ERK1/2, whereas 25- hydroxycholesterol causes its disassembly. Regulates cholesterol efflux by decreasing ABCA1 stability. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15746430, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18450749}. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm. Golgi apparatus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note=When bound to oxysterols, translocates to the periphery of Golgi membranes. |
Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11278871}. |
