CREB1 Phospho (Ser133) Antibody from BIOLEGEND

Cyclic AMP (cAMP)-response element-binding protein 1 (CREB1) is a phosphorylation-dependent transcription factor that binds to the cAMP response element (CRE) in response to certain stimuli. CREB1 contains a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) DNA-binding domain, 1 dimerization domain, and 9 serine residues in 1 kinase inducible domain phosphorylated by multiple kinases, including Ca2+/CaM-dependent kinase (CaMK) II and IV, protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), mitogen/stress-activated kinase (MSK), ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK), AKT, and MAPKAP kinase 2 (MK2). Both the protein levels and activation of CREB1 are vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis in physiological and pathological conditions. Phosphorylation of CREB1 at Ser133 promotes the recruitment of co-activator proteins CBP and p300, which has been proposed to increase transcription of CREB-dependent genes. Ser133 can also be phosphorylated by other proteins such as MSK1/2 in response to the activation of MAPK signaling.
