Lipid binding protein; binds to both free fatty acids with preference for saturated long-chain fatty acids and to sterols; contains two independent lipid-binding sites; involved in the export of free fatty acids and acetylated sterols; export functions are redundant with PRY2, and PRY3; important for survival of cells that accumulate free fatty acids; involved in detoxification of hydrophobic compounds; secreted glycoprotein and member of the CAP/SCP protein superfamily
