D site of albumin promoter (albumin D-box) binding protein
Gene Summary
DBP is a member of the PAR bZIP (proline and acidic amino acid-rich basic leucine zipper) transcription factor family. It is transcriptional activator that recognizes and binds to the sequence 5'-RTTAYGTAAY-3' found in the promoter of genes such as albumin, CYP2A4 and CYP2A5. The protein is not essential for circadian rhythm generation, but modulates important clock output genes.
