Creates contact site between the endoplasmic reticulum and late endosomes: localizes to late endosome membranes and contacts the endoplasmic reticulum via interaction with VAPA and VAPB (PubMed:24105263, PubMed:28377464). Acts as a lipid transfer protein that redirects sterol to the endosome at the expense of the cell membrane and favors membrane formation inside endosomes (PubMed:28377464). May also mediate cholesterol transport between other membranes, such as mitochondria membrane or cell membrane (PubMed:12070139, PubMed:19965586). However, such results need additional experimental evidences; probably mainly mediates cholesterol transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to endosomes (PubMed:28377464). Does not activate transcriptional cholesterol sensing (PubMed:28377464). Able to bind other lipids, such as lutein, a xanthophyll carotenoids that form the macular pigment of the retina (PubMed:21322544). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11053434, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12070139, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15930133, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19965586, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21322544, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22514632, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24105263, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28377464}. |MENTAL| |START| |vesicle tethering to endoplasmic reticulum| |progesterone biosynthetic process| |endoplasmic reticulum-endosome membrane contact site| |organelle membrane contact site| |vesicle tethering| |progesterone metabolic process| |C21-steroid hormone biosynthetic process| |ketone biosynthetic process| |C21-steroid hormone metabolic process| |steroid hormone biosynthetic process| |cholesterol binding| |cholesterol transport| |hormone biosynthetic process| |sterol transport| |cellular ketone metabolic process| |vesicle targeting| |cholesterol metabolic process| |late endosome membrane| |cellular hormone metabolic process| |steroid biosynthetic process| |secondary alcohol metabolic process| |sterol metabolic process| |organic hydroxy compound transport| |establishment of vesicle localization| |vesicle localization| |hormone metabolic process| |mitochondrial transport| |steroid metabolic process| |lipid transport| |lysosomal membrane| |alcohol metabolic process| |lipid localization| |establishment of organelle localization| |organic hydroxy compound metabolic process| |drug metabolic process| |regulation of hormone levels| |lipid biosynthetic process| |organelle localization| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |protein homodimerization activity| |endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |lipid metabolic process| |mitochondrion| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |small molecule metabolic process| |establishment of localization in cell| |vesicle-mediated transport| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp433|LJH685 50μM R08 exp433]]|-2.66| |[[:results:exp535|Trimetrexate 0.03μM R08 exp535]]|-2.21| |[[:results:exp191|Hypoxia 5%O2 R04 exp191]]|-2.11| |[[:results:exp2|5-Fluorouracil 20μM R00 exp2]]|-2.1| |[[:results:exp147|Resveratrol 16μM R03 exp147]]|-1.81| |[[:results:exp146|Quinacrine 2.5μM R03 exp146]]|-1.78| |[[:results:exp84|UM0125461 0.74μM R02 exp84]]|-1.77| |[[:results:exp493|IL-3 9ng/ml R08 exp493]]|-1.71| |[[:results:exp380|NMS-873 0.07μM R07 exp380]]|1.77| |[[:results:exp245|UM0011500 5μM R05 exp245]]|1.82| |[[:results:exp494|Isoniazid 100μM R08 exp494]]|1.83| |[[:results:exp280|Daidzin 10μM R06 exp280]]|1.89| |[[:results:exp238|Parthenolide 2.5μM R05 exp238]]|1.89| |[[:results:exp282|Fluvastatin 2.2μM R06 exp282]]|1.98| |[[:results:exp471|Cholesterol 0.003 to 0.006 to 0.1μM on day2 then day6 R08 exp471]]|2.44| |[[:results:exp504|MK2206 4μM R08 exp504]]|2.51| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
