    basic FUNCTION
  • activator of transcription
  • might change the DNA-binding specificity of other transcription factors and recruit them to unusual DNA sites
  • transcription factor primarily responsible for regulating transcription of key antioxidant and DNA repair genes in non-bronchogenic carcinoma individuals (Mullins 2005)
  • regulates ERCC5 expression and this regulation is modified by E2F1/YY1 interactions (Crawford 2007)
  • important regulator of cytokine expression in human neutrophils (Cloutier 2009)
  • CEBPG mediates the myeloid differentiation arrest induced by CEBPA deficiency in acute myeloid leukemia
  • CEBPG neutralizes the cytostatic activity of CEBPB through heterodimerization, which prevents senescence and suppresses basal transcription of SASP genes
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • homodimer
  • can form stable heterodimers with C/EBP alpha and beta and with Fos protein
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding to the enhancer element PRE-I (positive regulatory element-I) of the IL-4 gene
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • senescence-suppressing activity of CEBPG required its ability to heterodimerize with CEBPB
  • CEBPG facilitates lamellipodia formation and cancer cell migration through CERS6 upregulation
  • cell & other
