Abstract:
The essential function of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) in cellular lipid metabolism and homeostasis has been recognized for a long time, and the basic biological pathway involving SREBPs has been well described; however, a rapidly growing number of studies reveal the complex regulation of these SREBP transcription factors at multiple levels. This regulation allows the integration of signals of diverse pathways involving nutrients, contributing to cellular lipid and energy homeostasis. This review attempts to integrate this knowledge. The description of the SREBP pathway is Web-linked as it refers to the online version of the pathway on wikipathways.org , which is interactively linked to genomics databases and literature. This allows a more extensive study of the pathway through reviewing these links.
