Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 3 (CREB3)

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound sequence-specific transcription factor that directly binds DNA and activates transcription (PubMed:9271389, PubMed:19779205, PubMed:10984507, PubMed:15845366, PubMed:16940180). Plays a role in the unfolded protein response (UPR), promoting cell survival versus ER stress- induced apoptotic cell death (PubMed:15845366, PubMed:16940180).

Also involved in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation, tumor suppression and inflammatory gene expression. Acts as a positive regulator of LKN-1/CCL15-induced chemotaxis signaling of leukocyte cell migration (PubMed:19779205, PubMed:15001559, PubMed:17296613).
