ECM22/YLR228C Summary Help

Standard Name ECM22 1
Systematic Name YLR228C
Feature Type ORF, Verified
Description Sterol regulatory element binding protein; regulates transcription of sterol biosynthetic genes; contains Zn[2]-Cys[6] binuclear cluster; relocates from intracellular membranes to perinuclear foci on sterol depletion; ECM22 has a paralog, UPC2, that arose from the whole genome duplication (2, 3, 4, 5)
