Comments

Comment Type Description
Function Lipid transfer protein that promotes intermembrane transfer of phosphatidylcholines but no other phospholipids. Binds a single lipid molecule. May play a role in hepatocellular selection and transport of phosphatidylcholines during bile formation.
Similarity Contains 1 START domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00197}.
Subcellular Location Cytoplasm.
Subunit Interacts with ACOT13/THEM2
