Source: NCBI Gene (ID 83930)
Symbol: STARD3NL
Full name: STARD3 N-terminal like
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
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).
