Abstract: CCAAT enhancer binding protein β (C/EBP β) belongs to CCAAT enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) family, which is a subfamily of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) protein family. C/EBP family plays important roles in many processes such as cell differentiation, metabolism, and development. In this paper, the structure, expression regulation, and function of C/EBP β were reviewed.

Key words: CCAAT enhancer protein, structure, regulation of expression, function
