SREBP-2 Cell-Based Translocation Assay Kit

Synonyms : Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein-2 Cell-Based Translocation Assay Kit
Stability : 1 year
Description :
Lipid homeostasis in vertebrate cells is regulated by a family of basic helix-loop-helix (HLH) transcription factors called sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). SREBPs directly activate the expression of over 30 genes involved in both the synthesis and uptake of cholesterol, fatty acids, triglycerides, and phospholipids. SREBP-2 regulates cholesterol synthesis by activating the transcription of genes for HMG-CoA reductase and other enzymes of the cholesterol synthetic pathway. It is also involved in activating genes required to generate NADPH, which is consumed at multiple stages in cholesterol biosynthesis. SREBP-2 is ubiquitously expressed.
