Function
Accelerates the intermembrane transfer of various glycolipids. Catalyzes the transfer of various glycosphingolipids between membranes but does not catalyze the transfer of phospholipids. May be involved in the intracellular translocation of glucosylceramides.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the GLTP family.
Tissue Specificity
Detected in fibroblasts (at protein level). Detected in fibroblasts and in various cancer cell lines.
Cellular localization
- Cytoplasm
