CREB-binding protein

CREB-binding protein (CBP) is a vital molecule in our cells that helps regulate gene activity. It acts as a coactivator, connecting signals from outside the cell to turn genes on or off by modifying the surrounding DNA environment. CBP interacts with other proteins, including CREB, to promote the production of specific proteins essential for processes like learning, memory, cell growth, and response to stress. By facilitating these molecular communications, CBP plays a crucial role in maintaining normal cellular function and development.
