Creb1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and cAMP response element binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to retinoic acid; protein stabilization; and regulation of lipid biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to hepatocyte growth factor stimulus; lung development; and nervous system development. Located in chromatin and nucleus. Part of ATF4-CREB1 transcription factor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; limb; lung; and maxillary process. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; alcohol dependence; and heroin dependence. Orthologous to human CREB1 (cAMP responsive element binding protein 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Creb1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
