PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a conserved region of four transmembrane helices with three short intervening loops called the MENTAL domain (MLN64 N-terminal domain), mediating STARD3 and MENTHO homo- and hetero-interactions, targeting both proteins to late endosomes and binding cholesterol
  • a C-terminal domain homologous to StAR
  • HOMOLOGY
    intraspecies homolog to STARD3
    Homologene

    text late endosomal membrane protein
    basic FUNCTION
  • stimulating steroidogenesis in a placental system, which normally lacks StAR
  • involved in intracellular cholesterol transport, acting as discrete cholesterol-containing subdomains within the membrane of late endosomes where they may function in cholesterol transport
