Function
- transcription factor & DNA-binding protein
- binds to positive regulatory element-1 (PRE-1) of the IL-4 gene
- might change the DNA-binding specificity of other transcription factors & recruit them to unusual DNA sites
- binds DNA as a dimer & can form stable heterodimers with C/EBP alpha & C/EBP beta & with Fos protein
Structure
- belongs to the bZIP family, C/EBP subfamily
- contains 1 bZIP domain
