Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein 1c

Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein 1c (SREBP-1c) is a transcription factor that plays a key role in the regulation of lipid and cholesterol metabolism.
It is a member of the sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) family, which are known to activate genes involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesterol.
SREBP-1c is the predominant isoform expressed in liver and adipose tissue, and its activity is modulated by various nutritional and hormonal signals.
Dysregulation of SREBP-1c has been implicated in the development of metabolic disorders such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.
Understanding the regulatory mechanisms and functions of SREBP-1c is crucial for developing targeted therapies for these conditions.
