Gene Inhibited | C48E7.3 (lpd-2) | ||
Description of "C48E7.3" | lpd-2 encodes a predicted transcription factor with homology to transcription factors of the CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein family (C/EBPA and B, OMIM:116897, 189965, associated with the regulation of mammalian adipocyte differentiation); in C. elegans, LPD-2 activity is required for normal lipid metabolism and wild-type levels of lipogenic enzyme expression, as well as for larval development; in addition, LPD-2 may be part of a conserved pathway regulating lipogenesis, as LPD-2 appears to positively regulate expression of sbp-1, which encodes the C. elegans Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein (SREBP) homolog, a basic helix-loop-helix-type transcription factor also required for normal lipid metabolism and larval development. | ||
