Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 7)

  • Stard10 (Sdccag28) is much more highly transcribed in mouse cardiac atria than in cardiac ventricles. (PMID:14576202)
  • StarD10 interacts with phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine and preferentially selects lipid species containing a palmitoyl or stearoyl chain on the sn-1 and an unsaturated fatty acyl chain (18:1 or 18:2) on the sn-2 position (PMID:15911624)
  • C-terminal StarD10 phosphorylation on serine 284 regulates its association with cellular membranes (PMID:17561512)
  • Data show that in multivariate analyses incorporating tumor size, tumor grade, lymph node status, ER, PR and HER2 status, low STARD10 expression was an independent predictor of death from breast cancer. (PMID:19676041)
  • StarD10 is required for normal insulin secretion, though its deletion enhances proinsulin processing. (PMID:28132686)
  • Hence, we provide a molecular explanation for acquired resistance to DTX that is caused by the miR-638 deficiency and subsequent STARD10 upregulation. In consequence, alteration of miR-638/STARD10 cascade may represent an attractive strategy in future adjuvant therapy along with DTX chemotherapy. (PMID:28412359)
  • Finding proved that STARD10 and ERBB2 positively regulate each other’s expression and function. (PMID:30611309)

Function. May play metabolic roles in sperm maturation or fertilization. Phospholipid transfer protein that preferentially selects lipid species containing a palmitoyl or stearoyl chain on the sn-1 and an unsaturated fatty acyl chain (18:1 or 18:2) on the sn-2 position. Able to transfer phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidyetanolamline (PE) between membranes.

Subcellular location. Cell projection. Cilium. Flagellum. Cytoplasm. Membrane.

Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation at Ser-284 by CK2 negatively regulates lipid transfer activity, possibly by decreasing membrane association.
