GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SCAP (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
KIAA0199
Description
SREBF chaperone (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein with a sterol sensing domain (SSD) and seven WD domains. In the presence of cholesterol, this protein binds to sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) and mediates their transport from the ER to the Golgi. The SREBPs are then proteolytically cleaved and regulate sterol biosynthesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
