CREB1 - cAMP responsive element binding protein 1
Entrez Gene Name: cAMP responsive element binding protein 1
Synonyms: 2310001E10Rik, 3526402H21RIK, AV083133, CAMP RESPONSE ELEMENT BINDING PROTEIN 1, Cbp, CREB, CREB1, MGC9284, X2BP

Gene Summary

  • Human (1385): 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 two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
  • Rat (81646): binds the cAMP response element in many gene promoters and regulates transcription [RGD]
