Symbol
sbp-1
Name
Sterol regulatory element Binding Protein 1
Synonyms
  • CELE_Y47D3B.7
  • hlh-20
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to zinc ion; fatty acid metabolic process; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including head; intestine; and terminal bulb. Used to study alcohol use disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); diabetes mellitus (multiple); prostate cancer; sarcoma; and vascular dementia. Orthologous to several human genes including SREBF2 (sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 2).
WB Description
sbp-1 encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor homologous to the mammalian Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Proteins (SREBPs, OMIM:184756, overexpression of nuclear form of SREBP-1c is associated with insulin resistance and features of congenital generalized lipodystrophy); in C. elegans, SBP-1 activity is required for normal lipid metabolism and wild-type levels of lipogenic enzyme expression, as well as for embryonic and larval development; in addition, sbp-1 is required for mediating the lipid accumulation and increased body width/length ratio that occurs in response to oxygen deprivation; sbp-1 expression is detected in the intestine, the major site of fat storage, from early embryogenesis through adulthood and also in the amphid neurons.
