NCBI Description

transports cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane; plays a role in steroidogenesis [RGD, Feb 2006]

Uniprot Description

STAR: Plays a key role in steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing the metabolism of cholesterol into pregnenolone. Mediates the transfer of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane where it is cleaved to pregnenolone. May interact with TSPO. Expressed in gonads, adrenal cortex and kidney.

Protein type: Carrier; Lipid-binding; Mitochondrial

Cellular Component: mitochondrial crista; neuron projection; cell soma; mitochondrion; mitochondrial intermembrane space; cytosol

Molecular Function: protein binding; cholesterol transporter activity; cholesterol binding
