STARD10 Proteins and Enzymes

STARD10, STAR-related lipid transfer protein 10 or PCTP-like (33 kDa) is a transporter for lipids which specifically shuttles phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine between membranes. Mammalian STARD10 belongs to a family of fifteen START-domain proteins. In these family members, the carboxy terminal START-domain is conserved and functions in lipid binding or as a lipid sensing domain. The specificity for the type of lipid bound differs among family members (e.g., STARD1,3,5 binds ...
