Sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP2) is believed to play a key role in intracellular lipid movement. Here we report the cloning and nucleotide sequences of cDNAs encoding SCP2-related proteins of 58.85 kD and 30.8 kD and the assignment of the SCP2 gene to human chromosome 1 p21-pter. The SCP2-related proteins share common deduced carboxyl amino acid sequences with SCP2 and the cDNAs have a common 3' untranslated nucleotide sequence. The mRNAs encoding these proteins increased in a coordinate fashion as human placental cytotrophoblasts differentiated into syncytiotrophoblasts in culture. Our observations document the existence of a family of related proteins encoded by the human SCP2 gene.
