CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) epsilon also known as CEBPE and CRP1 is a type of ccaat-enhancer-binding protein. CEBPE is its human gene and is pro-apoptotic.The protein encoded by this gene is a bZIP transcription factor which can bind as a homodimer to certain DNA regulatory regions. It can also form heterodimers with the related protein CEBP-δ. The encoded protein may be essential for terminal differentiation and functional maturation of committed granulocyte progenitor cells.
