    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • granulocytic differentiation factor downregulated c-Myc target gene
  • coexpressed with and cross-regulated by PPARG, jointly required for full adipocyte differentiation and for granulocytic differentiation
  • a key regulator of airway epithelial maturation
  • mediating lineage specification and differentiation of multipotent myeloid progenitors into mature granulocytes
  • having a necessary role for transcriptional control of granulocyte, adipocyte and hepatocyte differentiation, glucose metabolism and lung development
  • important regulator of cytokine expression in human neutrophils
    • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism energetic
    signaling
  • energy pathway
  • molecular pathway PTEN-CEBPA-CTNNA1 which is evolutionarily conserved, and controls myeloid development and transformation
    • a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
  • binding to sequence CCAAT enhancer
    • RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • inhibiting SPI1 (PU1) and influencing cell fate and directing the development to the granulocyte lineage
  • binds KLF3 and both are implicated in controlling adipogenesis
  • functional interaction with CDX1 and PPARG
    • (CDX1 enhanced the expression of PPARG, a master transcriptional regulator of intestinal differentiation, at the transcriptional level, via functional interaction with CEBPA)
  • substrate for FBXW7 (FBXW7 is a negative regulator of CEBPA function by targeting it to phosphorylation-dependent degradation)
  • interacting with HDAC9 (induction of adipogenic differentiation promotes HDAC9 down-regulation and replacement by EP300 at the E-box site of the CEBPA gene promoter, thus switching on adipogenic gene expression)
    • cell & other
    REGULATION
    induced by CEBPB and CEBPD
    inhibited by leukemic fusion gene AME
    repressed by BCR-ABL (through inhibitory action of PCBP2)
    ZBTB16 (represses transcription factors involved in normal myeloid differentiation, including GFI1, C/EBPalpha)
    Other regulated by an ERK1/2-mediated change in the conformation of CEBPA that favors monocyte differentiation by blocking granulopoiesis
    regulated by CITED2-TFAP2C complex which controls lung maturation by regulating CEBPA expression
