Gene: CREB1
Alternate names for this Gene: CREB|CREB-1
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the leucine zipper family of DNA binding proteins. This protein binds as a homodimer to the cAMP-responsive element, an octameric palindrome. The protein is phosphorylated by several protein kinases, and induces transcription of genes in response to hormonal stimulation of the cAMP pathway. Alternate splicing of this gene results in several transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
Location in Chromosome : 2q33.3
Description of this Gene: cAMP responsive element binding protein 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
