  • also called CEBPE32
  • transcriptional activator
  • - splicing - 27 - - Bedi (2009)
  • also called CEBPE27
  • interacts with and represses GATA1 transactivation of eosinophil promoters
  • strongly inhibits eosinophil differentiation and gene expression, including GATA1, promoting granulocyte (neutrophil)-macrophage differentiation
  • - splicing - 14 - - Bedi (2009)
  • also called CEBPE14
  • contains only DNA-binding and -dimerization domains and may function as a dominant-negative regulator
  • strongly inhibits eosinophil development and gene expression, promoting erythroid differentiation, an effect enhanced by erythropoietin

    basic FUNCTION
  • myelocyte differentiation, premyelocyte to myelocyte transition
  • may be playing an essential role for terminal differentiation and functional maturation of committed granulocyte progenitor cells
  • essential and sufficient for the expression of a particular subset of neutrophil secondary granule genes
  • critical transcription factor in TNFalpha-induced up-regulation of GPX4 expression (Hattori 2007)
  • important regulator of cytokine expression in human neutrophils (Cloutier 2009)
  • required for the terminal differentiation of neutrophils and eosinophils (Bedi 2009)
