Depositor Comments

This plasmid expresses the truncated mature SREBP-2 protein (aa 1-482) which is targeted to the nucleus where it activates gene expression and not the full length SREBP-2 inactive precursor protein that is tethered to the endoplasmic reticulum. The plasmid was cloned similarly to the SREBP-1a and 1c constructs that are described in the publication listed below.

Please note that the SREBP-2 sequence contains L7V, G76S, K395R and I482L when compared to GenBank entry NP_004590.2. These changes may represent natural variants and have no known functional consequences. This is the exact plasmid used in the associated article listed below.
