CEBPB

CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta ;
C/EBP beta ;
Liver activator protein ;
Nuclear factor NF-IL6 ;
Transcription factor 5 ;
TCF-5 ;

function:Important transcriptional activator in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses. Specifically binds to an IL-1 response element in the IL-6 gene. NF-IL6 also binds to regulatory regions of several acute-phase and cytokines genes. It probably plays a role in the regulation of acute-phase reaction, inflammation and hemopoiesis. The consensus recognition site is 5'-T[TG]NNGNAA[TG]-3'.,PTM:Sumoylated by polymeric chains of SUMO2 or SUMO3.,similarity:Belongs to the bZIP family.,similarity:Belongs to the bZIP family. C/EBP subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 bZIP domain.,subunit:Binds DNA as a dimer and can form stable heterodimers with C/EBP alpha, delta and gamma. Interacts with TRIM28 and PTGES2.,tissue specificity:Expressed at low levels in the lung, kidney and spleen.,
