About Cebpb

Summary

This intronless gene encodes a member of the transcription factor family whose members contain a basic leucine-zipper domain. The encoded protein functions as a homodimer but can also form heterodimers with CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins alpha, delta, and gamma. The encoded protein plays important roles in several cellular processes and in various diseases, including regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, Apoptosis and neuroinflammation, and being involved in brain injury and inflammatory progression. The use of alternative in-frame AUG start codons results in multiple protein isoforms, each with different cellular localizations and distinct biological functions. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
