Qki activates Srebp2-mediated cholesterol biosynthesis for maintenance of eye lens transparency
Eye lens cells are highly enriched in cholesterol that sustains lens transparency, and disruption of cholesterol biosynthesis leads to cataracts. The authors show that cholesterol biosynthesis regulated by Qki is essential for maintenance of membrane integrity of lens cells and proper protein foldin...
