Gene: CEBPE
Alternate names for this Gene: C/EBP-epsilon|CRP1|c/EBP epsilon
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this 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-delta. The encoded protein may be essential for terminal differentiation and functional maturation of committed granulocyte progenitor cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Specific Granule Deficiency, a rare congenital disorder. Multiple variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of only one has been determined.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 14
Location in Chromosome : 14q11.2
Description of this Gene: CCAAT enhancer binding protein epsilon
Type of Gene: protein-coding
