Gene information for CREB3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10488
Official gene symbolCREB3
Full namecAMP responsive element binding protein 3
Aliases,LUMAN,LZIP,MGC15333,MGC19782,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the leucine zipper family of DNA binding proteins. This protein binds to the cAMP-response element and regulates cell proliferation. The protein interacts with host cell factor C1, which also associates with the herpes simplex virus (HSV) protein VP16 that induces transcription of HSV immediate-early genes. This protein and VP16 both bind to the same site on host cell factor C1. It is thought that the interaction between this protein and host cell factor C1 plays a role in the establishment of latency during HSV infection. This protein also plays a role in leukocyte migration, tumor suppression, and endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated protein degradation. Additional transcript variants have been identified, but their biological validity has not been determined.
