CEBP alpha (CCAAT/Enhancer-Binding Protein; also C/EBP) is a 42-43kD member of the C/EBP subfamily, bZIP family of proteins.
It is expressed in multiple cell types, particularly those that are fully differentiated, and includes hepatocytes, skeletal muscle cells, adipocytes, intestinal epithelium and proliferating macrophages.
CEBP alpha acts as a transcriptional activator for a large and diverse number of genes, including glycogen synthase, GLUT4, and G-CSFR, and participates in both cell cycle progression and differentiation.
Human CEBP a is 358aa in length.
It contains one transactivation domain (aa1-96), poly-Gly segment (aa99-104), a polyPromotif (aa 183-189), a bZIP dimerization region (aa281-334), and an overlapping DNA binding Leu-zipper domain (aa317-345).
CEBP alpha forms both homodimers, and heterodimers with other subfamily members.
One alternative start site at 120aa generates a low activity 30-32kD isoform variant.
There is also a utilized phosphorylation site at 21aa that regulates activity.
Over aa1-124, human CEBP alpha shares 93% aa identity with mouse CEBP alpha.
