SCAP - SREBF chaperone Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About SCAP
This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 201 orthologues and 10 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in adrenal (RPKM 22.6), testis (RPKM 19.9) and 25 other tissues.
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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
