Abstract excerpt
Sterol response element binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c) is a transcription factor that has been implicated in the regulation of expression of key lipogenic genes in hepatocytes, including fatty acid synthase (FAS) and glucokinase. In hepatocytes, insulin stimulates a rapid increase in transcription of SREBP-1c and the appearance of the SREBP-1c protein in the nucleus. SREBP-1 has also been proposed to play an...
