CREB1 cAMP responsive element binding protein 1

Gene ID: 1385, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CREB; CREB-1

Summary

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. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
