Enables cAMP response element binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription and response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and nucleoplasm.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a member of the oasis bZIP transcription factor family. Members of this family can dimerize but form homodimers only. The encoded protein is a transcriptional activator. Translocations between this gene on chromosome 7 and the gene fused in sarcoma on chromosome 16 can be found in some tumors. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
