The product of this gene belongs to the CRE (cAMP response element)-binding protein family. Members of this family contain zinc finger and bZIP DNA-binding domains. The encoded protein specifically binds to CRE as a homodimer or a heterodimer with c-Jun or CRE-BP1,[8] and functions as a CRE-dependent trans-activator. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.[7]
