Target Details for STAR

Target: STAR (Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein (STAR))

Alternative Name: STAR

Background:

Background: The steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, commonly referred to as StAR (STARD1), is a transport protein. This protein plays a key role in the acute regulation of steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing the conversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone. It permits the cleavage of cholesterol into pregnenolone by mediating the transport of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mutations in this gene are a cause of congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH), also called lipoid CAH. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 13.

Gene Full Name: steroidogenic acute regulatory protein

Gene ID: 6770

UniProt: P49675

Pathways: Metabolism of Steroid Hormones and Vitamin D, Response to Growth Hormone Stimulus, C21-Steroid Hormone Metabolic Process, Cellular Response to Molecule of Bacterial Origin, Carbohydrate Homeostasis
