Molecular switch may hold key to cure by USA Today (Magazine) The research pair have since discovered that a family of proteins called sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) controls the LDL receptors and regulates cholesterol levels in the body--a finding that forms the basis for using statin drug therapy to lower cholesterol levels.
