Regulation of sterol carrier protein gene expression by the Forkhead transcription factor FOXO3a
The SCP gene encodes two proteins, sterol carrier protein X (SCPx) and SCP2, that are independently regulated by separate promoters. SCPx has been shown to be the thiolase involved in the breakdown of branched-chain fatty acids and in the biosynthesis of bile acids. The in vivo function of SCP2 howe...
