Srebf1 - sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including response to peptide hormone; response to progesterone; and response to retinoic acid. Located in nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of alcoholic hepatitis; diabetic neuropathy; kidney disease; lipid storage disease (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in disease of metabolism and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human SREBF1 (sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1).
