ORP8 Antibody / Oxysterol-binding protein-related protein 8 / OSBPL8

Oxysterol-binding protein-related protein 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OSBPL8 gene. This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins containing an N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain and a highly conserved C-terminal oxysterol-binding protein-like sterol-binding domain. It binds mutliple lipid-containing molecules, including phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and oxysterol, and promotes their exchange between the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
