Oxysterol Binding Protein: Tether, Transporter … and Flux Capacitor?

Oxysterol Binding Protein: Tether, Transporter… and Flux Capacitor? Trends Cell Biol. 2019 May 15;: Authors: Hammond GRV, Pacheco J Abstract The oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) is a storied protein in organelle biology. Its early roles include acting as a membrane contact site (MCS) tether as well as a lipid antiporter. A surprising new function for OSBP in MCS dynamics has now been uncovered in a recent study by Jamecna et al. (Dev. Cell 2019;49:220-234). PMID: 31103279 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
