| 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. |
| Top Pathways | Primary bile acid biosynthesis, PPAR signaling pathway, Peroxisome |
