Sterol regulatory element binding protein; regulates transcription of sterol biosynthetic genes upon sterol depletion, after relocating from intracellular membranes to perinuclear foci; redundant activator of filamentation with UPC2, up-regulating the expression of genes involved in filamentous growth; contains Zn[2]-Cys[6] binuclear cluster; ECM22 has a paralog, UPC2, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000004218]
Chromosome XII: 600,019-602,463 reverse strand.
R64-1-1:BK006945.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 61 orthologues and 1 paralogue.
