This gene encodes a transcription factor that is a member
of the leucine zipper family of DNA binding proteins. This protein
binds to the cAMP-responsive element (CRE), an octameric
palindrome. The protein forms a homodimer or heterodimer with c-Jun
and stimulates CRE-dependent transcription. The protein is also a
histone acetyltransferase (HAT) that specifically acetylates
histones H2B and H4 in vitro; thus it may represent a class of
sequence-specific factors that activate transcription by direct
effects on chromatin components. Additional transcript variants
have been identified but their biological validity has not been
determined.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
