Anti-SRBP2

This gene encodes a member of the a ubiquitously expressed transcription factor that controls cholesterol homeostasis by regulating transcription of sterol-regulated genes. The encoded protein contains a basic helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper (bHLH-Zip) domain and binds the sterol regulatory element 1 motif. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013], Protein function: [Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2]: Precursor of the transcription factor form (Processed sterol regulatory element- binding protein 2), which is embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane (PubMed:32322062). Low sterol concentrations promote processing of this form, releasing the transcription factor form that translocates into the nucleus and activates transcription of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis (PubMed:32322062).

Cellular localization: [Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane , Multi-pass membrane protein . Golgi apparatus membrane , Multi-pass membrane protein . Cytoplasmic vesicle, COPII-coated vesicle membrane , Multi-pass membrane protein . At high sterol concentrations, the SCAP-SREBP is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:32322062). Low sterol concentrations promote recruitment into COPII-coated vesicles and transport of the SCAP-SREBP to the Golgi, where it is processed (PubMed:32322062). ., [Processed sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2]: Nucleus . Transported into the nucleus with the help of importin-beta. Dimerization of the bHLH domain is a prerequisite for importin beta-dependent nuclear import. .
