INSIG2

Entrez Summary: N/A
UniProt Summary: Mediates feedback control of cholesterol synthesis by controlling SCAP and HMGCR. Functions by blocking the processing of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs). Capable of retaining the SCAP-SREBF2 complex in the ER thus preventing it from escorting SREBPs to the Golgi. Seems to regulate the ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of HMGCR. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12242332, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16606821}.
