Lipid metabolism

Regulation of lipid metabolism
Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are a family of transcription factors that regultae lipid homeostasis by controlling the expression of a range of enzymes required for endogenous cholesterol, fatty acid, triacylglycerol and phospholipid synthesis. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0300908404001658

SREBP-1c can be considered as a thrifty gene.

Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SREBF1 gene.
