Abstract excerpt
The synthesis and uptake of cholesterol requires transcription factors designated sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs). SREBPs are bound to membranes in a hairpin orientation with their transcriptionally active NH2-terminal segments facing the cytosol. The NH2-terminal segments are...
