Gene:
CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), delta
Gene ID:
203138
Symbol:
CEBPD
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this intronless gene is a bZIP transcription factor which can bind as a homodimer to certain DNA regulatory regions. It can also form heterodimers with the related protein CEBP-alpha. The encoded protein is important in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses, and may be involved in the regulation of genes associated with activation and/or differentiation of macrophages.
