Facts about Oxysterol-binding protein 1.
Cholesterol binding promotes the formation of a complex with PP2A and a tyrosine phosphatase that dephosphorylates ERK1/2, whereas 25-hydroxycholesterol induces its disassembly (PubMed:15746430). Regulates cholesterol efflux by decreasing ABCA1 equilibrium (PubMed:18450749).
