Recombinant Human CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein gamma (CEBPG)

Uniprot Id

P53567

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CEBPG

Target Full Name

CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein gamma

Target Function

Transcription factor that binds to the promoter and the enhancer regions of target genes. Binds to the enhancer element PRE-I (positive regulatory element-I) of the IL-4 gene. Binds to the promoter and the enhancer of the immunoglobulin heavy chain. Binds to GPE1, a cis-acting element in the G-CSF gene promoter.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

BZIP family, C/EBP subfamily

Target Research Area

Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling, Transcription

Target Synonyms

C/EBP gamma; CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) gamma; CCAAT/enhancer binding protein gamma; CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein gamma; CEBPG; CEBPG_HUMAN; GPE1BP; IG/EBP 1; IG/EBP1

Target Background

The C/EBP family of transcription factors regulates viral and cellular CCAAT/enhancer element-mediated transcription. C/EBP proteins contain the bZIP region, which is characterized by two motifs in the C-terminal half of the protein: a basic region involved in DNA binding and a leucine zipper motif involved in dimerization. The C/EBP family consist of several related proteins, C/EBP alpha, C/EBP beta, C/EBP gamma, and C/EBP delta, that form homodimers and that form heterodimers with each other. CCAAT/enhancer binding protein gamma may cooperate with Fos to bind PRE-I enhancer elements. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
