What it does, reaction by reaction

0 reactions

This enzyme appears only in the regulation table, with no catalysed step recorded.

What accelerates and inhibits it

Regulation is pathway-specific, so each context is listed separately

1 entries

Lipoprotein Metabolism (Exogenous and Endogenous Pathways: chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, HDL)

Accelerated by

SREBP-2 when hepatocyte cholesterol is low; receptor recycling

Inhibited by

Intracellular cholesterol; PCSK9-mediated degradation

Hormonal control

Insulin can increase expression; statin-mediated cholesterol depletion strongly increases LDLR through SREBP-2
