STARD3NL STARD3 N-terminal like

Gene ID: 83930, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MENTHO

Summary

This gene encodes a late-endosomal protein that contains a conserved MENTAL (MLN64 N-terminal) domain. The encoded protein binds cholesterol molecules and may play a role in endosomal cholesterol transport through interactions with metastatic lymph node protein 64 (MLN64).
