PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • N terminal pleckstrin homology PH domain
  • a highly conserved OSBP-type sterol binding domain in the C terminus, that binds vimentin, cholesterol and oxysterols, and interacts with the filamentous vimentin network

    basic FUNCTION
  • putatively involved in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism
  • implicated in sterol-transport and/or sensing via binding to protein partners
  • could be involved in the maintenance of the undifferentiated state necessary for leukemogenesis
