SEC14-like protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SEC14L2gene.[5][6]
Function[]
This gene encodes a cytosolic protein which belongs to a family of lipid-binding proteins including Sec14p, alpha-tocopherol transfer protein, and cellular retinol-binding protein. The encoded protein stimulates squalene monooxygenase which is a downstream enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway.[6]
