Vectors for Human STAR

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol STAR
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name steroidogenic acute regulatory protein
  • Other Aliases STARD1
  • Other Desigations steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, mitochondrial; START domain containing 1; START domain-containing protein 1; StAR related lipid transfer (START) domain containing 1; cholesterol trafficker; mitochondrial steroid acute regulatory protein; steroid acute regulatory protein; steroidogenic acute regulator; testis secretory sperm-binding protein Li 241mP
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    The protein encoded by this gene plays a key role in the acute regulation of steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing the conversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone. This protein 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
