Facts about CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta.
Its functional capacity is regulated by protein interactions and post-translational protein alterations. During early embryogenesis, plays essential and redundant functions with CEBPA.

Expressed at low levels in the lung, kidney and spleen.
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Translocates to the nucleus when phosphorylated at Ser-288. In T-cells when sumoylated drawn to pericentric heterochromatin thereby allowing proliferation (By similarity).
