| Source | Rabbit | | Reactivity | Human;Rat | | Background | SREBP cleavage activating protein is a membrane-bound protein essential in regulating sterol regulatory element-binding protein processing. In cholesterol-starved cells, SREBPs move from the ER to the Golgi apparatus with the help of SCAP, where the precursor SREBPs are cleaved by site-1 and site-2 proteases. Released SREBP amino-terminal domains enter the nucleus and bind to sterol response elements located in the promoters of a number of genes responsible for the cholesterol synthesis. Research studies show that the SCAP/SREBP pathway is critical for diabetic fatty liver development and carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia in mice. In addition, the SCAP/SREBP pathway is required to protect cancer cells from lipotoxicity. | | References | [1] Brown, M.S. and Goldstein, J.L. (1997) Cell 89, 331-40.
