RREB1 Proteins and Enzymes

RREB1 (also known as RAS-responsive element binding protein 1 and Raf responsive zinc finger protein) is a transcription factor that binds specifically to the distal RAS-responsive element (RRE) in the calcitonin gene promoter and augments the Ras/Raf-mediated transcriptional response of that promoter. RREB1 may be involved in Ras/Raf-mediated cell differentiation. RREB is a nuclear protein expressed in heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas and is not found in the brain. The protein contains 4 C2H2-type zinc fingers.
