STARD3, Official Symbol STARD3provided by HGNC Official Full Name StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 3provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:17579 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000131748 MIM:607048; AllianceGenome:HGNC:17579 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as CAB1; es64; MLN64 Summary This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of lipid trafficking proteins that are characterized by a C-terminal steroidogenic acute regulatory domain and an N-terminal metastatic lymph node 64 domain. The encoded protein localizes to the membranes of late endosomes and may be involved in exporting cholesterol. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009] Expression Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 14.1), spleen (RPKM 13.2) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
