High impact information on OSBPL6

  • Analysis of ORP mRNA levels in unloaded or acetylated LDL-loaded human macrophages revealed that the expression of ORP genes was not significantly affected by the loading, with the exception of ORP6, which was up-regulated 2-fold [1].
  • This revealed a minimum of six novel OSBP-related proteins, designated ORP-1 to ORP-6 [2].
  • In the F9 cells, endogenous ORP6 associated predominantly with the nuclear envelope [3].
