What Does OSBP Stand For?
OSBP stands for Oxysterol Binding Protein
OSBP, or Oxysterol Binding Protein, is a vital intracellular protein that plays a key role in lipid metabolism and signaling. It mediates the transport and trafficking of oxysterols, which are oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol, and regulates various cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and cholesterol homeostasis. OSBP functions by connecting lipid metabolism with other cellular pathways, thus influencing processes such as inflammation, development, and disease progression.
