Notes: SREBPs, including SREBP-1a, SREBP-1c, and SREBP-2, constitute a family of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors that play a critical role in lipid homeostasis by regulating genes involved in cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism.{13853} SREBP-2 regulates cholesterol synthesis by activating the transcription of genes for HMG-CoA reductase and other enzymes of the cholesterol synthetic pathway.{13851} SREBP-2 is ubiquitously detected in various tissues.{12882} Upon cholesterol depletion, the protein is cleaved to its active forms (about 50-68 kDa) and translocated into the nucleus to stimulate transcription of genes involved in the uptake and synthesis of cholesterol.{13148} Cayman’s SREBP-2 polyclonal antibody detects both precursor and active forms of the protein in tissues and cells such as liver, brown fat, testis, HepG2 cells, and human fibroblast. The apparent molecular weight on SDS-PAGE may be higher than the calculated molecular weight (about 126 kDa) due to glycosylation of the protein.{13852}
