Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein (SREBP)

Target
SREBP
Molecular classification
Transcription factor, bHLH-LZ transcription factor
01

Overview

Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are a family of membrane-bound transcription factors that regulate lipid homeostasis. They control the synthesis and uptake of cholesterol, fatty acids, triglycerides, and phospholipids. Activation involves proteolytic cleavage and translocation to the nucleus to upregulate target genes. Dysregulation is implicated in metabolic diseases and cancer, making them potential therapeutic targets.
