CREB

CREB, or cAMP response element-binding protein, is a key molecule in cells that helps regulate how genes are turned on or off. When certain signals activate CREB, it binds to specific parts of DNA, promoting the production of proteins essential for processes like learning, memory, and cell survival. CREB acts as a critical link between external signals, like hormones or neurotransmitters, and the cell’s genetic response, influencing how cells adapt and function over time. It plays an important role in maintaining normal brain function and overall cell health.
