A family of transcription factors designated sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) mediates the previously described end-product feedback regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis. In addition, SREBPs are emerging as important regulators of fatty acid synthesis. The current review focuses on the in-vivo regulation of SREBPs in liver and the coordinate regulation of SREBP-activated target genes.
一类被称为固醇调节元件结合蛋白(SREBPs)的转录因子介导了先前所述的胆固醇生物合成的终产物反馈调节。此外,SREBPs正逐渐成为脂肪酸合成的重要调节因子。本综述重点关注肝脏中SREBPs的体内调节以及SREBP激活的靶基因的协同调节。
