Gene information for INSIG2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51141
Official gene symbolINSIG2
Full nameinsulin induced gene 2
Aliases,MGC26273,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to the protein product encoded by gene INSIG1. Both INSIG1 protein and this protein are endoplasmic reticulum proteins that block the processing of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) by binding to SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP), and thus prevent SCAP from escorting SREBPs to the Golgi.
