STARD4 abundance regulates sterol transport and sensing
The expression of a small sterol transport protein, STARD4, is regulated by cholesterol levels. We show that the abundance of STARD4 regulates the sensitivity of the SREBP-2 system to changes in cholesterol, providing an additional layer of regulation in the cholesterol homeostatic mechanism.
