| 735428 | INSIG2 | insulin induced gene 2 | The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to the protein product encoded by gene INSIG1. Both INSIG1 protein and this protein are endoplasmic reticulum proteins that block the processing of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) by binding to SREBP cleavage-activating protein ( SCAP), and thus prevent SCAP from escorting SREBPs to the Golgi.

| 735429 | Insig2 | insulin induced gene 2 | Predicted to enable oxysterol binding activity and protein sequestering activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cholesterol biosynthetic process; ear morphogenesis; and negative regulation of lipid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be part of SREBP-SCAP-Insig complex. Pred icted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; jaw bone; and retina. Orthologous to human INSIG2 (insulin induced gene 2).
