Expression of lipid-transfer proteins in the small intestine of mice and humans. The higher the expression, the higher the value for messenger RNA expression.31,32 ND: not detected; GRAMD1: GRAM domain-containing protein 1; OSBP: oxysterol-binding protein; ORP1L: OSBP-related protein 1 long form; StAR: steroidogenic acute regulatory protein; STARD3: StAR-related lipid transfer (START) domain containing 3; TEX2: testis-expressed protein 2
