-
Official Full Name
steroidogenic acute regulatory protein -
Overview
The protein encoded by this gene plays a key role in the acute regulation of steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing the;conversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone. This protein permits the cleavage of cholesterol into pregnenolone by;mediating the transport of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane.;Mutations in this gene are a cause of congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH), also called lipoid CAH. A;pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 13. -
