CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta, also known as is CEBP-beta, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CEBPB gene.
It mapped to 20q13.13.
The protein encoded by this intronless gene is a bZIP transcription factor that can bind as a homodimer to certain DNA regulatory regions.
It can also form heterodimers with the related proteins CEBP-alpha, CEBP-delta, and CEBP-gamma.
The encoded protein is important in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses and has been shown to bind to the IL-1 response element in the IL-6 gene, as well as to regulatory regions of several acute-phase and cytokine genes.
In addition, the encoded protein can bind the promoter and upstream element and stimulate the expression of the collagen type I gene.
CEBP-beta is critical for normal macrophage functioning, an important immune cell sub-type.
Observational work has shown that expression of CEBP-beta in blood leukocytes is positively associated with muscle strength in humans, emphasizing the importance of the immune system, and particularly macrophages, in the maintenance of muscle function.
