Abstract excerpt
CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) is a basic leucine zipper transcription factor that inhibits cell cycle progression and regulates differentiation in various cell types. C/EBPalpha is inactivated by mutation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is considered a human tumor suppressor in AML. Although C/EBPalpha mutations have not been observed in malignancies other than AML, greatly diminished...
