Summary: Enables lipid binding activity and sterol transfer activity. Involved in several processes, including ER to Golgi ceramide transport; maintenance of cell polarity; and piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus. Acts upstream of or within reticulophagy. Located in several cellular components, including cellular bud neck; cortical endoplasmic reticulum; and nuclear envelope. Orthologous to human OSBP (oxysterol binding protein) and OSBP2 (oxysterol binding protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

NP_010265.1

Member of an oxysterol-binding protein family with seven members; in S. cerevisiae, family members have overlapping, redundant functions in sterol metabolism and collectively perform a function essential for viability; contains FFAT motif; interacts with ER anchor Scs2p at patches at the plasma membrane and at the nuclear envelope; regulated by sterol binding; OSH2 has a paralog, SWH1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
