Rabbit polyclonal antibody to C/EBP ζ (D24)

C/EBP family members include C/EBP α, C/EBP β, C/EBP γ, C/EBP δ, C/EBP ε and C/EBP ζ, all of which are capable of forming homodimers or heterodimers with each other. C/EBP ζ, also known as CBF2, NOC1, CHOP10 (C/EBP homologous protein 10), GADD153 (growth arrest and DNA damage~inducible gene 153) or HSPCBF, is a ubiquitously expressed 1,054 amino acid protein that localizes to the nucleus and regulates transcription. More specifically, C/EBP ζ is believed to play a role regulating the expression of CRP (C~reactive protein). Unlike most C/EBP dimers, C/EBP ζ~containing dimers do not bind the classical C/EBP~binding consensus sequence. Rather, C/EBP ζ~containing dimers must associate with RBP~Jκ (another transcription factor) in order to accomplish binding to the C/EBP site.
