    Summary
    The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the oxysterol-binding protein-related family of proteins, which are defined by a C-terminal sterol domain with a highly conserved EQVSHHPP motif. Oxysterols are oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol that are involved in mechanisms that include apoptosis, cholesterol homeostasis, lipid trafficking and cell differentiation. This protein is selectively expressed at high levels in the brain and testis. Within the testis, the mRNA is localized to postmeiotic germ cells, including spermatids and spermatozoa, but is not detectable in somatic cells. Mice homozygous mutant for a targeted deletion in this gene do not exhibit overt developmental phenotypes but are male sterile. Females display normal fertility. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
