Identification of novel genes and pathways regulating SREBP transcriptional activity.
<h4>Background</h4>Lipid metabolism in mammals is orchestrated by a family of transcription factors called sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) that control the expression of genes required for the uptake and synthesis of cholesterol, fatty acids, and triglycerides. SREBPs...
