Function
Promotes the transport of cholesterol across mitochondrial membranes and may play a role in lipid metabolism, but its precise physiological role is controversial. It is apparently not required for steroid hormone biosynthesis. Can bind protoporphyrin IX and may play a role in the transport of porphyrins and heme.
