Summary
OSBPL2 (oxysterol binding protein like 2, HGNC:15761) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20q13.33, encoding Oxysterol-binding protein-related protein 2 (Q9H1P3). Intracellular transport protein that binds sterols and phospholipids and mediates lipid transport between intracellular compartments.
This gene encodes a member of the oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) family, a group of intracellular lipid receptors. Most members contain an N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain and a highly conserved C-terminal OSBP-like sterol-binding domain, although the encoded protein contains only the sterol-binding domain. In vitro studies have shown that the encoded protein can bind strongly to phosphatic acid and weakly to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, but cannot bind to 25-hydroxycholesterol. The protein associates with the Golgi apparatus. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

Function. Intracellular transport protein that binds sterols and phospholipids and mediates lipid transport between intracellular compartments. Increases plasma membrane cholesterol levels and decreases phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate levels in the cell membrane. Binds phosphoinositides, such as phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate. Exhibits strong binding to phosphatidic acid and weak binding to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. Binds cholesterol, dehydroergosterol, 22(R)-hydroxycholesterol and 25-hydroxycholesterol (in vitro).
Subunit / interactions. Monomer. Homotetramer; phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding promotes formation of stable tetramers. Interacts with DIAPH1.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytosol. Lipid droplet. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed.
Disease relevance. Deafness, autosomal dominant, 67 (DFNA67) [MIM:616340] A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the OSBP family.
