| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable cholesterol binding activity; lipid transfer activity; and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid transport; plasma membrane organization; and protein homotetramerization. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid transport. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol; perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum; and plasma membrane. Predicted to colocalize with lipid droplet. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; immune system; and lung. Used to study autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 67. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 67. Orthologous to human OSBPL2 (oxysterol binding protein like 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele show progressive hearing loss, abnormal cochlear development with defective cilia. [provided by MGI curators] |
