Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2

UniProtKB accession:  Q12772

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Precursor of the transcription factor form (Processed sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2), which is embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane (PubMed:32322062). Low sterol concentrations promote processing of this form, releasing the transcription factor form that translocates into the nucleus and activates transcription of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis (PubMed:32322062).
