Oxysterol-binding proteins are evolutionary related proteins involved with sterol

Sterol

Sterols, also known as steroid alcohols, are a subgroup of the steroids and an important class of organic molecules. They occur naturally in plants, animals, and fungi, with the most familiar type of animal sterol being cholesterol...

 synthesis and/or its regulation . These include mammalian oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP), a protein of about 800 amino-acid residues that binds a variety of oxysterols (oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol); yeast OSH1, a protein of 859 residues that also plays a role in ergosterol synthesis; and yeast proteins HES1 and KES1, highly related proteins of 434 residues that seem to play a role in ergosterol synthesis
