... FEBS Glutamine stimulates the gene expression and processing of sterol regulatory element binding proteins, thereby increasing the expression of their target genes Jun Inoue, Yuka Ito, Satoko Shimada, ... the addition of glutamine, the gene expression of the SREBP targets,such as HMG CoA synthase and the LDL receptor,was slightly increased, but then the mRNA levels of both SREBPs and their target ... that the larger the amount of glutamine added to the med-ium, the more the expression of genes related to lipid homeostasis is pro-moted by the activation of sterol regulatory element binding...
