About Scarb2

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including chaperone binding activity; Cholesterol binding activity; and phospholipid binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of neuron projection development. Predicted to be located in endocytic vesicle membrane; lysosomal lumen; and lysosomal membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in progressive myoclonus epilepsy 4. Orthologous to human SCARB2 (scavenger receptor class B member 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
