Sterol carrier protein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sterol carrier proteins (also known as nonspecific lipid transfer proteins) is a family of proteins that mediate transfer of steroids and probably also phospholipids and gangliosides between cellular membranes.
The family includes sterol carrier protein 2. These proteins are different from plant nonspecific lipid transfer proteins but structurally similar to small proteins of unknown function from Thermus thermophilus.
