[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/S14L2_HUMAN S14L2_HUMAN]] Carrier protein. Binds to some hydrophobic molecules and promotes their transfer between the different cellular sites. Binds with high affinity to alpha-tocopherol. Also binds with a weaker affinity to other tocopherols and to tocotrienols. May have a transcriptional activatory activity via its association with alpha-tocopherol. Probably recognizes and binds some squalene structure, suggesting that it may regulate cholesterol biosynthesis by increasing the transfer of squalene to a metabolic active pool in the cell.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

Supernatant protein factor (SPF) promotes the epoxidation of squalene catalyzed by microsomes. Several studies suggest its in vivo role in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway by a yet unknown mechanism. SPF belongs to a family of lipid binding proteins called CRAL_TRIO, which include yeast phosphatidylinositol transfer protein Sec14 and tocopherol transfer protein TTP. The crystal structure of human SPF at a resolution of 1.9 A reveals a two domain topology. The N-terminal 275 residues form a Sec14-like domain, while the C-terminal 115 residues consist of an eight-stranded jelly-roll barrel similar to that found in many viral protein structures. The ligand binding cavity has a peculiar horseshoe-like shape. Contrary to the Sec14 crystal structure, the lipid-exchange loop is in a closed conformation, suggesting a mechanism for lipid exchange.
