3h3s is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
CERT_HUMAN The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
CERT_HUMAN Shelters ceramides and diacylglycerol lipids inside its START domain and mediates the intracellular trafficking of ceramides and diacylglycerol lipids in a non-vesicular manner.[1][2][3][4]
