Target: | CEBPA is a bZIP transcription factor which can bind as a homodimer to certain promoters and enhancers. It can form heterodimers with the related proteins CEBP-beta and CEBP-gamma. The protein has been shown to bind to the promoter and modulate the expression of the gene encoding leptin, a protein that plays an important role in body weight homeostasis. Also, CEBPA can interact with CDK2 and CDK4, thereby inhibiting these kinases and causing growth arrest in cultured cells. |
