======= STARD8 ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: STARD8 * **Official Name**: StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 8 * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=9754|9754]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q92502|Q92502]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=STARD8&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20STARD8|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/300689|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of Rho GTPase activating proteins that contain a steroidogenic acute regulatory protein related lipid transfer domain. The encoded protein localizes to focal adhesions and may be involved in regulating cell morphology. This protein may also function as a tumor suppressor. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: Accelerates GTPase activity of RHOA and CDC42, but not RAC1. Stimulates the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5- bisphosphate by PLCD1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17976533}. |START| |RhoGAP| |lipid binding| |GTPase activator activity| |regulation of small GTPase mediated signal transduction| |positive regulation of GTPase activity| |focal adhesion| |regulation of GTPase activity| |positive regulation of hydrolase activity| |regulation of hydrolase activity| |positive regulation of catalytic activity| |positive regulation of molecular function| |regulation of intracellular signal transduction| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp519|RS-1 10μM R08 exp519]]|-2.25| |[[:results:exp73|LJH685 5μM R02 exp73]]|-2.17| |[[:results:exp123|GSK-LSD1 10μM R03 exp123]]|-1.96| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
