Function |
Mediates in vitro the transfer of all common phospholipids, cholesterol and gangliosides between membranes. May play a role in regulating steroidogenesis.
|
Subcellular Location |
Isoform SCPx: Peroxisome. Note=Interaction with PEX5 is essential for peroxisomal import. {ECO:0000250}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Present at low levels in all tissues examined but expressed predominantly in the liver.
