|---|---|
| Function | [Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2]: 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). |
| Cellular Location | [Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi- pass membrane protein. Golgi apparatus membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, COPII-coated vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=At high sterol concentrations, the SCAP- SREBP is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:32322062). Low sterol concentrations promote recruitment into COPII-coated vesicles and transport of the SCAP-SREBP to the Golgi, where it is processed (PubMed:32322062). |
| Tissue Location | Ubiquitously expressed in adult and fetal tissues. |

Background
The sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 2 (SREBF2) is a transcription factor that binds to the sterol regulatory element-1 (SRE1), which is a decamer flanking the low density lipoprotein receptor gene and some genes involved in sterol biosynthesis (1,2). The related protein SREBF1 also binds SRE1 and activates transcription in an additive fashion to SREBF2 (2). SREBF2 has been more closely associated with cholesterol synthesis and accumulation, while the SREBF1 proteins are important in the regulation of genes involved in lipid metabolism (3).
