INSIG1 - insulin induced gene 1 Gene
Also Known as CL6
Species: Homo sapiens
About INSIG1
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Ubiquitous expression in liver (RPKM 104.0), fat (RPKM 35.8) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes an endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein that regulates Cholesterol metabolism, lipogenesis, and glucose homeostasis. The encoded protein has six transmembrane helices which contain an effector protein binding site. It binds the sterol-sensing domains of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) cleavage-activating protein (SCAP) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase), and is essential for the sterol-mediated trafficking of these two proteins. It promotes the endoplasmic reticulum retention of SCAP and the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of HMG-CoA reductase. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
