CREB3L1 (Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 3-like protein 1) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Sarcomas, Lung cancer and Breast cancer. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Precursor of the transcription factor form (Processed cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 3-like protein 1), which is embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane with N-terminal DNA-binding and transcription activation domains oriented toward the cytosolic face of the membrane. In response to ER stress or DNA damage, transported to the Golgi, where it is cleaved in a site-specific manner by resident proteases S1P/MBTPS1 and S2P/MBTPS2. The released N-terminal cytosolic domain is translocated to the nucleus where it activates transcription of specific target genes involved in the cell-cycle progression inhibition. Transcription factor involved in cell type specific DNA damage and unfolded protein response (UPR). Binds the DNA consensus sequence 5'-GTGXGCXGC-3'. Plays a critical role in bone formation through the transcription of COL1A1, and possibly COL1A2, and the secretion of bone matrix proteins. Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 11p11.2 (HGNC).
