Star - steroidogenic acute regulatory protein Gene
Species: Rattus norvegicus
Summary
Predicted to enable Cholesterol binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to organonitrogen compound; response to glucocorticoid; and steroid biosynthetic process. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; mitochondrial envelope; and neuronal cell body. Biomarker of hypogonadism; hypothyroidism; nephrosis; polycystic ovary syndrome; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. 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]
