Product description
This gene encodes a transcription factor that was
originally identified as a widely expressed mammalian DNA binding
protein that could bind a tax-responsive enhancer element in the
LTR of HTLV-1. The encoded protein was also isolated and
characterized as the cAMP-response element binding protein 2
(CREB-2). The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of
DNA-binding proteins that includes the AP-1 family of transcription
factors, cAMP-response element binding proteins (CREBs) and
CREB-like proteins. These transcription factors share a leucine
zipper region that is involved in protein-protein interactions,
located C-terminal to a stretch of basic amino acids that functions
as a DNA binding domain. Two alternative transcripts encoding the
same protein have been described. Two pseudogenes are located on
the X chromsome at q28 in a region containing a large inverted
duplication.1) Dey, S., et al. J. Biol. Chem. 285(43):33165-33174(2010)
