Sterol regulatory element binding protein- 1 and -2 (SREBP-1 and -2) are key transcription factors involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids. The SREBP have mostly been studied in rodents in which lipogenesis is regulated in both liver and adipose tissue. There is, though, a paucity of information on birds, in which lipogenesis occurs essentially in the liver as in humans. Since a prelude to the investigation of the role of SREBP in lipid metabolism regulation in chicken, we review Size and Tissue expression Pattern of SREBP and role of this protein in chickens.
固醇调节元件结合蛋白-1 和 -2(SREBP-1 和 -2)是参与胆固醇和脂肪酸生物合成的关键转录因子。SREBP 主要在啮齿动物中进行研究,其中肝脏和脂肪组织中的脂肪生成受到调节。然而,关于鸟类的信息很少,鸟类的脂肪生成主要发生在肝脏中,就像人类一样。由于研究 SREBP 在鸡脂质代谢调节中的作用的前奏,我们回顾了 SREBP 的大小和组织表达模式以及该蛋白在鸡中的作用。
