Gene: CEBPD
Alternate names for this Gene: C/EBP-delta|CELF|CRP3|NF-IL6-beta
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this intronless gene is a bZIP transcription factor which can bind as a homodimer to certain DNA regulatory regions. It can also form heterodimers with the related protein CEBP-alpha. The encoded protein is important in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses, and may be involved in the regulation of genes associated with activation and/or differentiation of macrophages. The cytogenetic location of this locus has been reported as both 8p11 and 8q11.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 8
Location in Chromosome : 8q11.21
Description of this Gene: CCAAT enhancer binding protein delta
Type of Gene: protein-coding
