Also known as CREB-HCREBH
Summary
CREB3L3 (cAMP responsive element binding protein 3 like 3, HGNC:18855) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.3, encoding Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 3-like protein 3 (Q68CJ9). Transcription factor that may act during endoplasmic reticulum stress by activating unfolded protein response target genes.
This gene encodes a member of the basic-leucine zipper family and the AMP-dependent transcription factor family. The encoded protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and acts as a transcription factor activated by cyclic AMP stimulation. The encoded protein binds the cyclic AMP response element (CRE) and the box-B element and has been linked to acute inflammatory response, hepatocellular carcinoma, triglyceride metabolism, and hepcidin expression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 3-like protein 3 — Q68CJ9 (reviewed: Q68CJ9)
Alternative names: Transcription factor CREB-H
All UniProt accessions (1): Q68CJ9
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Transcription factor that may act during endoplasmic reticulum stress by activating unfolded protein response target genes. Activated in response to cAMP stimulation. In vitro, binds to the cAMP response element (CRE) and box-B element. Activates transcription through box-B element. Activates transcription through CRE. May function synergistically with ATF6. In acute inflammatory response, may activate expression of acute phase response (APR) genes. May be involved in growth suppression. Regulates FGF21 transcription. Plays a crucial role in the regulation of triglyceride metabolism and is required for the maintenance of normal plasma triglyceride concentrations.
Subunit / interactions. Binds DNA as a dimer. May form homodimers. Interacts with ATF6. Interacts with SYNV1/HRD1; this interaction leads to CREB3L3 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Exclusively expressed in liver. Underexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues.
Post-translational modifications. Controlled by regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). Following ER stress a fragment containing the cytoplasmic transcription factor domain is released by proteolysis. The cleavage seems to be performed sequentially by site-1 and site-2 proteases (PS1 and PS2). N- and O-glycosylated. N-glycosylation is required for optimal proteolytic activation. O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans. Ubiquitinated at Lys-294 by SYNV1/HRD1 via ‘Lys-27’-linked ubiquitin.
Disease relevance. Hypertriglyceridemia 2 (HYTG2) [MIM:619324] An autosomal dominant form of hypertriglyceridemia, a disorder characterized by elevated plasma triglyceride levels. HYTG2 patients also have increased total cholesterol levels and low levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Reduced penetrance has been observed. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the bZIP family. ATF subfamily.
