basic FUNCTION
| exhibits biological and biophysical properties that imply a role in steroidogenesis |
|
might play an important role in lipid sensing of the nervous system |
|
might have nuclear roles and contribute to subsequent formation of neuroprotective steroids after excitotoxic brain injury |
|
testis proteins, FMR1NB, NXF2, MAGEA5, FSIP1, and STARD6, are required for accurate chromosome segregation in tumor cells |
|
overexpression of NXF2, FSIP1, and STARD6, in the absence of paclitaxel, increased the generation of multinucleated cells, a hallmark of aberrant mitosis |
|
STAR and STARD6 bind cholesterol, but no cholesterol binding could be detected for STARD5 |
|
playing likely a previously unappreciated role in cholesterol homeostasis |
