Function
Precursor of the transcription factor form (Processed sterol regulatory element- binding protein 2), which is embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Low sterol concentrations promote processing of this form, releasing the transcription factor form that translocates into the nucleus and activates transcription of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis.

Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis Target of This Regulator [1]
Responsed Disease Knee osteoarthritis ICD-11: FA01
Responsed Drug Stigmasterol Investigative
Pathway Response Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
In Vitro Model
ATDC-5 cells Teratocarcinoma Mus musculus CVCL_3894
Response regulation Stigmasterol (STM) attenuates chondrocyte injury induced by IL-1 by regulating ferroptosis via down-regulation of SREBF2, which suggests that STM may have potential as a novel therapeutic method for knee osteoarthritis.

Response regulation The lipogenesis regulator SREBP2 directly induces transcription of the iron carrier Transferrin (TF), reducing intracellular iron pools, reactive oxygen species, and lipid peroxidation, thereby conferring resistance to inducers of ferroptosis. SREBP2-driven iron homeostatic pathways contribute to cancer progression, drug resistance, and metastasis in melanoma cancers.
