Abstract excerpt
Maintenance of lipid homeostasis is crucial for cells in response to lipid requirements or surplus. The SREBP transcription factors play essential roles in regulating lipid metabolism and are associated with many metabolic diseases. However, SREBP regulation of lipid metabolism is still not completely understood. Here, we showed that reduction of SBP-1, the only homolog of SREBPs in Caenorhabditis elegans,...
