Recombinant Human Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 1 (CREB1)

Uniprot Id

P16220

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CREB1

Target Full Name

Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 1

Target Function

Phosphorylation-dependent transcription factor that stimulates transcription upon binding to the DNA cAMP response element (CRE), a sequence present in many viral and cellular promoters. Transcription activation is enhanced by the TORC coactivators which act independently of Ser-119 phosphorylation. Involved in different cellular processes including the synchronization of circadian rhythmicity and the differentiation of adipose cells.

Target Involvement

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

BZIP family

Target Research Area

Immunology

Target Background

This gene encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the leucine zipper family of DNA binding proteins. This protein binds as a homodimer to the cAMP-responsive element, an octameric palindrome. The protein is phosphorylated by several protein kinases, and induces transcription of genes in response to hormonal stimulation of the cAMP pathway. Alternate splicing of this gene results in several transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
