SEC14L2

SEC14-like protein 2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the SEC14L2 is_associated_with::gene.

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 is_associated_with::enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway.
