Transcriptional regulation by the phosphorylation-dependent factor CREB

Bernhard Mayr1 & Marc Montminy 1,2  About the authors

Top

The transcription factor CREB ? for 'cyclic AMP response element-binding protein' ? functions in glucose homeostasis, growth-factor-dependent cell survival, and has been implicated in learning and memory. CREB is phosphorylated in response to various signals, but how is specificity achieved in these signalling pathways?
