CEBPA is an intronless gene encoding a transcription factor that contains a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain and recognizes the CCAAT motif in the promoters of target genes. The CEBPA-encoded protein functions in homodimers and also heterodimers with CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins beta and gamma to modulate the expression of genes involved in cell cycle regulation. It coordinates proliferation arrest and the differentiation of myeloid progenitors, adipocytes, hepatocytes, and cells of the lung and the placenta. It is essential for the transition from common myeloid progenitors (CMP) to granulocyte/monocyte progenitors (GMP).
