STARD8 StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 8 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 9754)

Symbol: STARD8

Full name: StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 8

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: ARHGAP38; DLC3; STARTGAP3

Summary: This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of Rho GTPase activating proteins that contain a steroidogenic acute regulatory protein related lipid transfer domain. The encoded protein localizes to focal adhesions and may be involved in regulating cell morphology. This protein may also function as a tumor suppressor. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
