Regulators of lipid synthesis and the unfolded protein response
The transcription factors XBP1, ATF6, and SREBP require processing to active forms before entering the nucleus, where SERBPs and XBP1 control the expression of genes involved in lipogenesis and ATF6 activates XBP1. The activation of XBP1 and ATF6 in response to stress occurs independently of the regulation of SREBPs by cholesterol.
