Names

Common Name: CREB1 Type: Gene
Chromosome: 2 (NC_000002.12) Locus: NG_023299.1 (CREB1)
HUGO Symbol: CREB1 Full Name: Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 1
Exons: 8 Introns: 7

Description:
The CREB1 gene encodes a transcription factor that belongs to the family of leucine zipper proteins (bZIP). The basic leucine zipper motif allows for dimerization and sequence-specific DNA-binding interactions. A series of knockdown experiments in erythroid cell lines and primary erythroid progenitors supported a role for CREB1 signaling in Gγ-globin gene transcription. CREB1 and its binding partner CREB binding protein (CBP) [GeneID: 386] co-localize at the Gγ-globin cAMP response element (G-CRE) located between -1222 and -1229 relative to the cap site to induce γ-globin expression through a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent mechanism. Genetic variation in the G-CRE region associated with foetal haemoglobin (HbF) levels in sickle cell disease.
