C/EBP beta (also known as CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta, interleukin 6-dependent DNA-binding protein, and nuclear factor of interleukin 6 [NF-IL6]) is a member of the basic leucine zipper C/EBP transcription factor family. C/EBP has three isoforms that include C/EBPb, LAP, and LIP (35kD, 32kD, and 20kD, respectively). This protein is localized in the nucleus and functions as a transcription factor in immune, inflammatory, acute-phase, cytokine, collagen type I gene expression. It is upregulated by growth hormones and has been shown to interact with CEBP-a, CEBP-d, CEBP-g, CEBP-e, and CEBP-z. The C/EBP beta protein can be modified by phosphorylation and ubiquitination.
