Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable sterol binding activity and sterol transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in sterol transport. Predicted to be located in cytosol; perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum; and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cholangiocarcinoma and colorectal cancer. Is an ortholog of human OSBP (oxysterol binding protein) and OSBP2 (oxysterol binding protein 2).
