Gene: STARD3
Alternate names for this Gene: CAB1|MLN64|es64
Gene 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17q12
Description of this Gene: StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
