SREBPs: activators of the complete program of cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis in the liver

Jay D. Horton, Joseph L. Goldstein, Michael Scott Brown·2002·Journal of Clinical Investigation

Abstract

Lipid homeostasis in vertebrate cells is regulated by a family of membrane-bound transcription factors designated sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs).SREBPs directly activate the expression of more than 30 genes dedicated to the synthesis and uptake of cholesterol, fatty acids, triglycerides, and phospholipids, as well as the NADPH cofactor required to synthesize these molecules (1-4).In the liver, three SREBPs regulate the production of lipids for export into the plasma as lipoproteins and into the bile as micelles.The complex, interdigitated roles of these three SREBPs have been dissected through the study of ten different lines of gene-manipulated mice.These studies form the subject of this review.

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.
