Gene information for SCAP (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID22937
Official gene symbolSCAP
Full nameSREBF chaperone
Aliases,KIAA0199,
Gene summaryThis 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]
