ATF/CREB

The ATF/CREB family is a group of transcription factors, consisting of different ATFs, CREB, CREM and related proteins. Among the transcription factors assigned to this group, some are more related to CREB-like, factors, whereas other exhibit closer similarity with the AP-1 transcription factor components c-Jun or c-Fos.
Common features are a basic leucine zipper type of DNA-binding domain and binding as a dimer to
DNA sequences like 5'-TGACGTCA-3' or 5'-TGATCA-3' as recognition sequences.
