An enzyme known as thiolase is responsible for putting together two acetyl-CoA molecules to create the acetoacetyl-CoA, which is used to make HMG-CoA. 2. Conversion of lanosterol to cholesterol is a complex, energy intensive process that requires 19 steps and a lot of energy. 3. SREBP (Steroid response element binding protein) is a protein that plays a role in controlling whether or not HMG-CoA reductase is made. When cholesterol is abundant, SREBP is found in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum linked to another protein called SCAP through the regulatory (REG) region of SREBP. 4. When cholesterol levels in the cell fall, the SCAP/SREBP complex moves to the Golgi Complex and SCAP binds to a serine protease. The serine protease cleaves SREBP to release the REG region from the region that will ultimately bind to DNA. Highlights Fat/Lipid/Cholesterol Transport 1. Cholesterol in the body is either there as a result of 1) synthesis; 2) diet; or 3) storage/recycling. 2.

High-density lipoprotein (HDL), also known as “good cholesterol”, can help prevent narrowing or clogged arteries by removing bad cholesterol. However, Cleveland Clinic researchers have found that some enzymes in the blood can make HDL dysfunctional and increase the risk of plaque buildup and heart problems. Learn how Cleveland Clinic is hoping to develop a blood test to measure the level of dysfunctional HDL to better estimate a person’s risk for heart disease.
