High impact information on OSBPL7

Here we performed basic characterization of subfamily III, which consists of three members: ORP3, ORP6, and ORP7 [1].
ORP6 gene expression was induced upon differentiation of F9 embryonic carcinoma cells into parietal endoderm, while ORP3 and ORP7 mRNA levels were unchanged [1].

Anatomical context of OSBPL7

While ORP3 mRNA is most abundant in kidney, lymph nodes, and thymus, ORP6 shows highest expression in brain and skeletal muscle, and ORP7 in the gastrointestinal tract [1].
