CREBBP
by Charles McManus
1. The CREB binding protein is closely related to p300. They are both needed to perform cell growth, DNA repair, differentiation, and apoptosis.
1.1. Relating to p300, both of these proteins are responsible for transcription factors that could alter the cells behavior into cancerous activity.
2. The CREBBP gene provides instructions for making CREB binding protein.
2.1. CREB binding protein is called a transcriptional coactivator.
2.1.1. The CREB protein is needed to control cell growth and cell division. The protein is also needed to differentiate cells.
2.2. CREBBP regulates the activity of many genes in tissues throughout the body
3. CREBBP is associated with non-small cell lung carcinoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma, breast carcinoma, bladder carcinoma, and lymphoma
3.1. The CREBBP is altered in 5.01% of all cancers.
3.1.1. Of 5.01%, 4.67% are mutations.
