OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) family, a group of intracellular lipid receptors. Most members contain an N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain and a highly conserved C-terminal OSBP-like sterol-binding domain, although some members contain only the sterol-binding domain. This family member functions as a cholesterol transfer protein that regulates Golgi structure and function. Multiple transcript variants, most of which encode distinct isoforms, have been identified. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 3, 11 and 12. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads OSBPL9 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against OSBPL9 could matter depends on whether native OSBPL9 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

OSBPL9 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label OSBPL9 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
