medicine | SCP2 is a binding protein for endocannbinoids N-arachidonylethanolamine and 2-arachidonoylglycerol. N-arachidonylethanolamine and 2-arachidonoylglycerol associate with SCP2 at a putative cholesterol binding pocket with DeltaG values of ?3.6 and ?4.6 kcal per mol, respectively. SCP2-mediated transfer of cholesterol in vitro is inhibited by micromolar concentrations of N-arachidonylethanolamine, and heterologous expression of SCP2 in HEK-293 cells increases time-related accumulation of N-arachidonylethanolamine in a temperature-dependent fashion | Homo sapiens |

physiological function | SCP2 is a binding protein for endocannbinoids N-arachidonylethanolamine and 2-arachidonoylglycerol. N-arachidonylethanolamine and 2-arachidonoylglycerol associate with SCP2 at a putative cholesterol binding pocket with DeltaG values of -3.6 and -4.6 kcal per mol, respectively. SCP2-mediated transfer of cholesterol in vitro is inhibited by micromolar concentrations of N-arachidonylethanolamine, and heterologous expression of SCP2 in HEK-293 cells increases time-related accumulation of N-arachidonylethanolamine in a temperature-dependent fashion | Homo sapiens |
