Designing a Western blot for OSBP? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the OSBP Western Blot GuideFacts 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).
