TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a protein that binds to beta-sitosterol and localizes to the ER. The WFDE motif in ORP3a appears to be important for a direct interaction with PVA12 [Plant VAMP-Associated protein 12]. Mutation of this motif causes ORP3a to relocalize to the Golgi and cytosol. The interaction between PVA12 and ORP3a does not appear to be sterol-dependent. |
