| UniProt functional annotation for Q02201 | |||
| UniProt code: Q02201. |
| Organism: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. | |
| Function: | Lipid transporter involved in lipid countertransport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane: specifically exchanges phosphatidylserine with phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P), delivering phosphatidylserine to the plasma membrane in exchange for PI4P, which is degraded by the SAC1 phosphatase in the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:23934110, PubMed:26206936). Binds phosphatidylserine and PI4P in a mutually exclusive manner (PubMed:26206936). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23934110, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26206936}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20008566, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23934110}. Note=Localizes to the cortical endoplasmic reticulum at the endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact sites. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20008566, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23934110}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Present with 2550 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the OSBP family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
