C-terminal START domain of mammalian STARD9, and related domains; lipid binding. This subfamily includes the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR)-related lipid transfer (START) domains of mammalian STARD9 (also known as KIAA1300), and related domains. The START domain family belongs to the SRPBCC (START/RHO_alpha_C /PITP /Bet_v1/CoxG/CalC) domain superfamily of proteins that bind hydrophobic ligands. SRPBCC domains have a deep hydrophobic ligand-binding pocket. Some members of this subfamily have N-terminal kinesin motor domains. STARD9 interacts with supervillin, a protein important for efficient cytokinesis, perhaps playing a role in coordinating microtubule motors with actin and myosin II functions at membranes. The human gene encoding STARD9 lies within a target region for LGMD2A, an autosomal recessive form of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
