Cholesterol homeostasis: ESCAPe from the ER

Curr Biol. 2000 Apr 20;10(8):R298-301. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(00)00434-6.

Abstract

Transcriptional regulation and membrane traffic have traditionally been quite separate fields of biology, but they have been brought under the same roof by recent advances in understanding the cellular control of cholesterol metabolism.
