Comment typeDescription
FunctionC/EBP is a DNA-binding protein that recognizes two different motifs: the CCAAT homology common to many promoters and the enhanced core homology common to many enhancers.
InteractionP47902:CDX1; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-1172054, EBI-8514176; P03122:E2 (xeno); NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1172054, EBI-7028618; P06422:E2 (xeno); NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-1172054, EBI-7136851; P09874:PARP1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1172054, EBI-355676;
SimilarityBelongs to the bZIP family. C/EBP subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
SimilarityContains 1 bZIP (basic-leucine zipper) domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00978}.
Subcellular LocationNucleus.
SubunitInteracts with PRDM16 (By similarity). Binds DNA as a dimer and can form stable heterodimers with C/EBP beta and gamma. Interacts with UBN1. Interacts with HBV protein X. Interacts with ZNF638; this interaction increases transcriptional activation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
