Protein: Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP-2) (Sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor 2) [Cleaved into: Processed sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (Transcription factor SREBF2)] (Q3T1I5)
Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat)
Function: Precursor of the transcription factor form (Processed sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2), which is embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. 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.
Subcellular location: [Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q12772}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q12772}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, COPII-coated vesicle membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q12772}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Note=At high sterol concentrations, the SCAP-SREBP is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. Low sterol concentrations promote recruitment into COPII-coated vesicles and transport of the SCAP-SREBP to the Golgi, where it is processed. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q12772}.; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: [Processed sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2]: Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q12772}. Note=Transported into the nucleus with the help of importin-beta. Dimerization of the bHLH domain is a prerequisite for importin beta-dependent nuclear import. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3U1N2}.
