Function

SREBP_SCHPO Transcriptional activator required for transcription of genes required for adaptation to anaerobic growth like those implicated in the nonrespiratory oxygen-consumptive biosynthetic pathways of sterol, heme, sphingolipid, and ubiquinone biosynthesis. May monitor oxygen levels through sterol synthesis steps which require oxygen.^{[1] [2] [3]}
