{"symbol":"CEBPD","synonyms":["C/EBP-DELTA","CRP3","NF-IL6-BETA","CELF"],"name":"CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), delta","description":"The protein encoded by this intronless gene is a bZIP transcription factor which can bind as a homodimer to certain DNA regulatory regions. It can also form heterodimers with the related protein CEBP-alpha. The encoded protein is important in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses, and may be involved in the regulation of genes associated with activation and/or differentiation of macrophages. The cytogenetic location of this locus has been reported as both 8p11 and 8q11.
