"A series of ACBD3 suppression and overexpression studies, along with expression of dominant negative mutants and in vitro reconstitution experiments in steroid synthesizing and control cells, support the idea that upon hormonal stimulation, the mitochondrial proteins TSPO and voltage-dependent anion-selective channel (VDAC) form a complex that allows for the recruitment and anchoring of ACBD3, PRKAR1A, ACBD1 and StAR on the surface of the mitochondria and subsequent cholesterol transfer [ xref , xref , xref , xref , xref , xref ]."
