Activation of sterol regulatory element binding proteins in the absence of Scap in Drosophila melanogaster.
Genetics - 1 May 2010
Matthews Krista A, Ozdemir Cafer, Rawson Robert B
Abstract excerpt
The escort factor Scap is essential in mammalian cells for regulated activation of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). SREBPs are membrane-bound transcription factors. Cells lacking Scap cannot activate SREBP. They are therefore deficient in the transcription of numerous genes in...
