Developmental Roles of the Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein (StAR) as Revealed by StAR Knockout Mice

2000-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) is essential for adrenal and gonadal steroidogenesis, stimulating the translocation of cholesterol to the inner mitochondrial membrane where steroidogenesis commences. StAR mutations in humans cause congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (lipoid CAH), an autosomal recessive condition with severe deficiencies of all classes of steroid hormones. We previously described St...
