CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein delta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CEBPD gene.[5][6]

Function

[edit]

The protein encoded by this intronless gene is a bZIP transcription factor which can bind as a homodimer to certain DNA regulatory regions. It can also form heterodimers with the related protein CEBP-alpha. The encoded protein is important in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses, and may be involved in the regulation of genes associated with activation and/or differentiation of macrophages.[7]

Functions

[edit]

CEBPD is involved in regulation of apoptosis and cell proliferation. It probably acts as tumor suppressor.[8]

One study in mice showed that CEBPD prevents development of tubular injury and tubulointerstitial fibrogenesis during the progression of chronic obstructive nephropathy.[9]

Function of CEBPD gene can be effectively examined by siRNA knockdown based on an independent validation.[10]

Interactions

[edit]

CEBPD has been shown to interact with Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3.[11]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
