STARD13 and hepatocellular carcinoma: STARD13 (StAR-related lipid transfer domain protein 13, also known as deleted in liver cancer 2 protein (DLC-2)) is a Rho GTPase-activating protein (Rho GAP) that selectively activates RhoA and CDC42 and suppresses cell growth by inhibiting actin stress fiber assembly in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) [208]; this protein is ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues and downregulated in HCC.
