Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) family proteins are involved in intracellular lipid transport and cell signaling.
Significant advances have been made in understanding the structure and function of this protein family.
The structures of OSBPs are composed of a conserved lipid-binding domain and additional targeting modules.
The unique structural features of ORPs correlate with the PI(4)P-coupled lipid transport optimized in membrane contact sites.
