General annotation (Comments)

Function

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 By similarity.

Pathway

Steroid metabolism; cholesterol metabolism.

Subunit structure

May interact with TSPO By similarity.

Subcellular location

Mitochondrion.

Tissue specificity

Corpus luteum and adrenal gland.

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 START domain.
