Sterol carrier proteins (also known as nonspecific lipid transfer proteins) is a family of proteins that transfer steroids and probably also phospholipids and gangliosides between cellular membranes.
These proteins are different from plant nonspecific lipid transfer proteins but structurally similar to small proteins of unknown function from Thermus thermophilus.
This domain is involved in binding sterols. The human sterol carrier protein 2 ( SCP2) is a basic protein that is believed to participate in the intracellular transport of cholesterol and various other lipids. [1]
