Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Mediates in vitro the transfer of all common phospholipids, cholesterol and gangliosides between membranes. May play a role in regulating steroidogenesis.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm. Note=Cytoplasmic in the liver and also associated with mitochondria especially in steroidogenic tissues.Isoform SCP2: Mitochondrion.Isoform SCPx: Peroxisome. Note=Interaction with PEX5 is essential for peroxisomal import. {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Present at low levels in all tissues examined but expressed predominantly in the liver.
