A synthesized peptide derived from human CEBP alpha
Konjugation:
Unconjugated
Alternative Synonym:
C/EBP alpha, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha, CEBPA,
The protein encoded by this intronless gene is a bZIP transcription factor which can bind as a homodimer to certain promoters and enhancers. It can also form heterodimers with the related proteins CEBP-beta and CEBP-gamma. The encoded protein has been shown to bind to the promoter and modulate the expression of the gene encoding leptin, a protein that plays an important role in body weight homeostasis.
