Abstract excerpt
Insig-1 and Insig-2, a pair of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane proteins, mediate feedback control of cholesterol synthesis through their sterol-dependent binding to the following two polytopic ER membrane proteins: sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) cleavage-activating protein (SCAP) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase. Sterol-induced binding of Insigs to SCAP prevents the...
