Emopamil binding protein. Emopamil binding protein (EBP) is as a gene that encodes a non-glycosylated type I integral membrane protein of endoplasmic reticulum and shows high level expression in epithelial tissues. The EBP protein has emopamil binding domains, including the sterol acceptor site and the catalytic centre, which show Delta8-Delta7 sterol isomerase activity. Human sterol isomerase, a homologue of mouse EBP, is suggested not only to play a role in cholesterol biosynthesis, but also to affect lipoprotein internalisation. In humans, mutations of EBP are known to cause the genetic disorder of X-linked dominant chondrodysplasia punctata (CDPX2). This syndrome of humans is lethal in most males, and affected females display asymmetric hyperkeratotic skin and skeletal abnormalities.

Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:  No Conserved Features/Sites Found for EBP
