Emopamil binding protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EBP gene, located on the X chromosome. EBP was discovered through its high-affinity binding to anti-ischemic drugs such as emopamil, from which it also derives its name. In addition to emopamil, EBP also bind with high affinity a variety of structurally unrelated compounds, such as amiodarone, opipramol, ifenprodil, trifluoperazine, and chlorpromazine. EBP has a mass of 27.3 kDa and resembles the σ2-receptor that resides in the endoplasmic reticulum of various tissues as an integral membrane protein.
