Rat Cyclic AMP Response Element Binding Protein 1,CREB1 ELI

Phosphorylation-dependent transcription factor that stimulates transcription upon binding to the DNA cAMP response element (CRE), a sequence present in many viral and cellular promoters.

Transcription activation is enhanced by the TORC coactivators which act independently of Ser-119 phosphorylation.

Involved in different cellular processes including the synchronization of circadian rhythmicity and the differentiation of adipose cells (By similarity).
