Cebpa

Symbol: Cebpa
Name: CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), alpha
Alias: C/EBPalpha
Entrez gene ID: 12606
Ensembl gene ID: ENSMUSG00000034957
Species: Mouse (Taxid: 10090)

Functional description:
C/EBP is a DNA-binding protein that recognizes two different motifs: the CCAAT homology common to many promoters and the enhanced core homology common to many enhancers. [UniProt]

Observation:

Replacing the Cebpa gene by Cebpb increases mean lifespan by about 20% [15289464]. C/ebpalpha(beta/beta) animals consume more food but weight less than controls [10982846], and have a slightly elevated body temperature (0.3-0.5 degree Celsius) [15289464].
