Phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (PCTP), also known as StAR-related lipid transfer domain protein 2 (STARD2), is a specific intracellular phospholipid binding protein that can transfer phosphatidylcholine between different membranes in the cytosol.

In humans, phosphatidylcholine transfer protein is encoded by the PCTP gene.
