======= STARD8 =======
== Gene Information ==
* **Official Symbol**: STARD8
* **Official Name**: StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 8
* **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A

== 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}.
