"STAR" - Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, mitochondrial in Homo sapiens
Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
some 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

STARSteroidogenic acute regulatory protein, mitochondrial; Plays a key role in steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing the metabolism of cholesterol into pregnenolone. Mediates the transfer of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane where it is cleaved to pregnenolone; StAR related lipid transfer domain containing (285 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CYP11A1
Cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, mitochondrial; Catalyzes the side-chain cleavage reaction of cholesterol to pregnenolone; Cytochrome P450 family 11 (521 aa)
     
 
  0.994
FDX1
Adrenodoxin, mitochondrial; Participates in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Essential for the synthesis of various steroid hormones, participates in the reduction of mitochondrial cytochrome P450 for steroidogenesis. Transfers electrons from adrenodoxin reductase to CYP11A1, a cytochrome P450 that catalyzes cholesterol side-chain cleavage; Belongs to the adrenodoxin/putidaredoxin family (184 aa)
     
 
  0.970
STARD3NL
STARD3 N-terminal-like protein; Tethering protein that creates contact site between the endoplasmic reticulum and late endosomes- localizes to late endosome membranes and contacts the endoplasmic reticulum via interaction with VAPA and VAPB; Belongs to the STARD3 family (234 aa)
 
     
  0.969
FDXR
NADPH-adrenodoxin oxidoreductase, mitochondrial; Serves as the first electron transfer protein in all the mitochondrial P450 systems. Including cholesterol side chain cleavage in all steroidogenic tissues, steroid 11-beta hydroxylation in the adrenal cortex, 25-OH-vitamin D3-24 hydroxylation in the kidney, and sterol C-27 hydroxylation in the liver; Belongs to the ferredoxin--NADP reductase type 1 family (534 aa)
         
  0.951
VDAC1
Voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 1; Forms a channel through the mitochondrial outer membrane and also the plasma membrane. The channel at the outer mitochondrial membrane allows diffusion of small hydrophilic molecules; in the plasma membrane it is involved in cell volume regulation and apoptosis. It adopts an open conformation at low or zero membrane potential and a closed conformation at potentials above 30-40 mV. The open state has a weak anion selectivity whereas the closed state is cation-selective. May participate in the formation of the permeability transition p [...] (283 aa)
         
  0.927
STARD4
StAR-related lipid transfer protein 4; May be involved in the intracellular transport of sterols or other lipids. May bind cholesterol or other sterols (By similarity); StAR related lipid transfer domain containing (205 aa)
         
0.926
VDAC2
Voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 2; Forms a channel through the mitochondrial outer membrane that allows diffusion of small hydrophilic molecules. The channel adopts an open conformation at low or zero membrane potential and a closed conformation at potentials above 30-40 mV. The open state has a weak anion selectivity whereas the closed state is cation- selective; Belongs to the eukaryotic mitochondrial porin family (309 aa)
     
 
  0.923
STARD6
StAR-related lipid transfer protein 6; May be involved in the intracellular transport of sterols or other lipids. May bind cholesterol or other sterols (By similarity); StAR related lipid transfer domain containing (220 aa)
         
0.920
STARD3
StAR-related lipid transfer protein 3; Sterol-binding protein that mediates cholesterol transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to endosomes. Creates contact site between the endoplasmic reticulum and late endosomes- localizes to late endosome membranes and contacts the endoplasmic reticulum via interaction with VAPA and VAPB. Acts as a lipid transfer protein that redirects sterol to the endosome at the expense of the cell membrane and favors membrane formation inside endosomes. May also mediate cholesterol transport between other membranes, such as mitochondria membrane or cell membr [...] (445 aa)
         
0.913
FDX1L
Ferredoxin-2, mitochondrial; Essential for heme A and Fe/S protein biosynthesis; Belongs to the adrenodoxin/putidaredoxin family (183 aa)
         
    0.900
