Official Full Name: CCAAT enhancer binding protein zeta
Also known as: CBF; CBF2; NOC1; HSP-CBF
This gene belongs to the CBF/Mak21 family. The encoded proteins function in cellular responses to environmental stimuli through a transcriptional process involving heat shock factors, conserved DNA elements (heat shock elements or HSEs), and CCAAT boxes. This protein acts as a DNA-binding transcriptional activator that regulates the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) promoter in a ccaat-dependent manner. This protein is also involved in cell growth and differentiation, especially hematopoietic differentiation.
