STARD7 Gene Summary [Human]
Predicted to enable lipid binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including establishment of skin barrier; mucociliary clearance; and myeloid dendritic cell activation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and extracellular region. Implicated in familial adult myoclonic epilepsy 2. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human STARD7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
