Abstract excerpt
When added to living cells, sterols such as cholesterol and 25-hydroxycholesterol block the lateral movement of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) into COPII-coated vesicles on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes and thereby prevent the SREBPs from reaching the Golgi complex for processing to the mature forms that activate cholesterol synthesis. Sorting of SREBPs into COPII vesicles is mediated...
