About Star

Summary

Predicted to enable Cholesterol binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular lipid metabolic process; glucocorticoid metabolic process; and regulation of steroid biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; extraembryonic component; and reproductive system. Used to study congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Orthologous to human STAR (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
