Function
Plays a role in regulating ADIPOQ and FABP4 levels in differentiating adipocytes and is also involved in regulation of adipocyte triglyceride storage. Weakly binds 25- hydroxycholesterol. Interacts with OSBPL9 to function as lipid transfer proteins. Together they form a heterodimer that localizes at the ER-trans-Golgi membrane contact sites, and exchanges phosphatidylserine (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3- phospho-L-serine, PS) for phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (1,2-diacyl- sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1D-myo-inositol 4-phosphate), PI(4)P) between the two organelles, a step that is critical for sphingomyelin synthesis in the Golgi complex.
