Other Information

**Key Characteristics** CEBPA is a transcription factor that belongs to the CCAAT-binding protein family. It consists of three main domains: the C-terminal domain, the central domain, and the N-terminal domain. The central domain is responsible for DNA binding, while the N-terminal domain is involved in protein-protein interactions. CEBPA is highly expressed in hematopoietic cells, particularly in granulocytes and macrophages, where it regulates the expression of genes involved in cell differentiation, proliferation, and survival. **Pathways and Functions** CEBPA is involved in various cellular pathways, including: 1. **Cellular response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)**: CEBPA regulates the expression of genes involved in the TNF signaling pathway, which is crucial for the regulation of immune responses. 2. **Cholesterol metabolic process**: CEBPA is involved in regulating the expression of genes involved in cholesterol metabolism, which is essential for the regulation of lipid homeostasis. 3. **Cytokine-mediated signaling pathway**: CEBPA regulates the expression of genes involved in cytokine signaling, which is crucial for the regulation of immune responses. 4. **Dna-binding transcription activator activity**: CEBPA is involved in regulating the expression of genes by binding to specific DNA sequences and interacting with other transcription factors. 5. **Hematopoietic stem cell proliferation**: CEBPA regulates the expression of genes involved in hematopoietic stem cell proliferation, which is essential for the development of blood cells. **Clinical Significance** CEBPA is significantly expressed in various cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Mutations in the CEBPA gene have been associated with AML, which is characterized by the overexpression of CEBPA. The overexpression of CEBPA is thought to contribute to the development of AML by regulating the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. CEBPA is also involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses, and its expression is elevated in conditions characterized by chronic inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, CEBPA has been implicated in the regulation of immune responses in autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and multiple sclerosis. In conclusion, CEBPA is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including differentiation, development, and immune responses. Its expression is significantly elevated in hematopoietic cells, particularly in granulocytes and macrophages, where it regulates the expression of genes involved in cell differentiation, proliferation, and survival. CEBPA's involvement in various cellular pathways and its clinical significance make it an important target for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer and autoimmune diseases.

You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
