Emerging role of Insig-1 in lipid metabolism and lipid disorders
Abstract
Growing evidence has demonstrated that Insig-1 is intricately involved in lipid metabolism regulation and the progression of lipid disorders. Our review summarizes updated information on the role and underlying mechanisms of Insig-1 in lipid metabolism dyshomeostasis and lipid disorders. As a member of the insulin-induced gene family, insulin-induced gene 1 (Insig-1) is a six-span transmembrane protein embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Insig-1 is widely involved in the maintenance of intracellular lipid metabolism homeostasis by controlling the activation of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) and the degradation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR). Growing experimental and clinical data have identified that Insig-1 reduces lipid accumulation in hepatocytes to relieve the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), downregulates the plasma level of free cholesterol and protects β cells against lipotoxicity to alleviate diabetic dyslipidemia. In addition, Insig-1 suppresses adipogenesis and inhibits the differentiation of preadipocytes to prevent the occurrence of obesity. Insig-1 is a key regulatory factor that maintains intracellular lipid metabolism homeostasis and is a promising therapeutic target for lipid disorders.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
