SREBP2 - regulating cholesterol homeostasis and lipid metabolism Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBP) are important transcription factors regulating the synthesis and uptake of lipids including cholesterol. This essential role in lipid metabolism makes investigations into the functions SREBPs im... Read full blog post. |
SREBP: Gatekeeper of Cholesterol Homeostasis SREBP1 (sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein 2) is a basic-helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper (bHLH-ZIP) transcription factor. It regulates sterol and cholesterol homeostasis by controlling enzymes involved in cholesterol synthesis and uptake, e.g. ... Read full blog post. |
SREBPs: Global Regulator of Lipid Metabolism Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are indirectly required for cholesterol biosynthesis and for uptake and fatty acid biosynthesis. There are three known SREBP isoforms, SREBP1a, 1c and SREBP2; these have different roles in lipid synt... Read full blog post. |
SREBP2: From Cholesterol Homeostasis to Cancer Invasion Sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) is a transcription factor that regulates cholesterol homeostasis by controlling enzymes involved in cholesterol synthesis and uptake, e.g. HMG-CoA. Along with another transcription factor LXR, SREBP... Read full blog post. |
ABCA1 Expression is Down-Regulated by SREBP microRNA The ABCA1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter-A1) gene encodes a transmembrane protein, which plays a major role in phospholipid homeostasis by regulating cholesterol efflux from the cell. ABCA1 antibody studies have shown ABCA1 expression is up/down re... Read full blog post. |
