Protein-coding gene in humans
Cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CPEB1 gene .[ 5] [ 6]
This gene encodes a member of the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE) binding protein family . This highly conserved protein binds to a specific RNA sequence called the CPE found in the 3′ UTR of some mRNAs . Similar proteins in Xenopus and mouse function to induce cytoplasmic polyadenylation of dormant mRNAs with short polyA tails , resulting in their translation . Members of this protein family regulate translation of cyclin B1 during embryonic cell divisions . Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[ 6]
