3D structures of oxysterol-binding protein homolog
Updated on 13-April-2026
FunctionOxysterol-binding protein homolog (Osh) mediate sterol transport from the ER to mitochondria. Sterols are synthesized in the ER and are present in membranes and affect the membrane fluidity and permeability[1]. Osh4 or Kes1 is involved in membrane and lipid trafficking through trans-Golgi network and endosomal systems[2]. Structural highlightsThe structure of the complex between Osh4 and cholesterol shows the cholesterol binding in a tunnel covered by a lid formed by the protein N-terminal with the ligand forming numerous interactions with Osh4[3]. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
