Creb1

Enables several functions, including Hsp70 protein binding activity; arrestin family protein binding activity; and histone acetyltransferase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of gene expression. Located in several cellular components, including axon; chromatin; and mitochondrial matrix. Part of transcription regulator complex. Used to study several diseases, including alcohol use disorder; cerebrovascular disease (multiple); cocaine abuse; obsessive-compulsive disorder; and substance dependence (multiple). Biomarker of several diseases, including Huntington's disease; alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; amphetamine abuse; and drug dependence (multiple). 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).

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 rat 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.
