Abstract excerpt
The sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)/SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP) complex regulates the transcription of numerous genes involved in cellular cholesterol metabolism. The CHO mutant, CT60, and its parental cell line, 25RA, possess a gain-of-function mutation in one allele of the SCAP gene that renders the cells resistant to sterol-mediated suppression of cholesterol synthesis and...
