Background
This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins containing an N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain and a highly conserved C-terminal oxysterol-binding protein-like sterol-binding domain. It binds mutliple lipid-containing molecules, including phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and oxysterol, and promotes their exchange between the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016],

Cellular localization
[Isoform 1]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein . Nucleus membrane . The presence of the N-terminus extension contains an overall negative charge that may explain the weak localization to the cortical endoplasmic reticulum (Probable). .; [Isoform 3]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein. Localizes to the cortical endoplasmic reticulum at the endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact sites. .
Tissue expression
Widely expressed (PubMed:11735225). Expressed at higher level in macrophages (PubMed:17991739).
