    Summary
    Predicted to enable cholesterol binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in cholesterol transport and vesicle tethering to endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to act upstream of or within progesterone biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including endosome; nucleoplasm; and organelle membrane contact site. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum-endosome membrane contact site and late endosome membrane. Predicted to colocalize with endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human STARD3 (StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
