STARD3

Functionⁱ

Sterol-binding protein that mediates cholesterol transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to endosomes (PubMed:11053434, PubMed:15930133, PubMed:22514632, PubMed:28377464). 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 (PubMed:24105263, PubMed:28377464). 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 (PubMed:28377464). May also mediate cholesterol transport between other membranes, such as mitochondria membrane or cell membrane (PubMed:12070139, PubMed:19965586). However, such results need additional experimental evidences; probably mainly mediates cholesterol transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to endosomes (PubMed:28377464). Does not activate transcriptional cholesterol sensing (PubMed:28377464). Able to bind other lipids, such as lutein, a xanthophyll carotenoids that form the macular pigment of the retina (PubMed:21322544).8 Publications

Caution

STARD3 was reported to function in cholesterol transport to the mitochondria or to the cell membrane (PubMed:12070139, PubMed:19965586). Other reports however showed that it mediates cholesterol transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to endosomes (PubMed:11053434, PubMed:28377464). Discrepancies may be due to the different cell type used and the cellular physiological state (PubMed:28377464).4 Publications

Domainⁱ

The FFAT motif mediates interaction with VAPA and VAPB.1 Publication

The START domain mediates lipid-transfer between membranes. It contains a hydrophobic cavity able to accommodate one lipid molecule, thereby serving as a 'hydrophobic bridge' across the aqueous gap between donor and acceptor organelle membranes.1 Publication

The MENTAL domain anchors the protein in endosome membranes and exposes the START domain in the cytosol (PubMed:11053434). It binds cholesterol and mediates homotypic as well as heterotypic interactions between STARD3 and STARD3NL (PubMed:15718238, PubMed:16709157).3 Publications
