Background Information
Insulin-induced genes (INSIGs), which consist of two isoforms (INSIG1 and INSIG2), are representative endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident oxysterol-binding proteins (OSBPs). INSIG1 is part of negative regulatory feedback, acting as a brake on SREBP transcriptional function (PMID: 23919961). INSIG1 also has a secondary function mediating sterolaccelerated proteolytic degradation of HMG CoA reductase, thus impacting the mevalonate pathway. Suppression of INSIG1 function promotes hepatic lipid remodelling and restrains NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) progression(PMID: 33722690).

Reviews
What customers say
One reviewer (Zach K.) gave a 3/5 rating for Western Blot on liver tissue at a 1:1000 dilution (lot 00086729). The antibody failed to detect the endogenous protein but successfully recognized transgenically overexpressed targets, suggesting adequate specificity and binding capacity when antigen levels are sufficient.
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
