C/EBP ζ (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein ζ), also known as CBF, CBF2, NOC1 or HSP-CBF is a 1,054 amino acid nuclear protein belonging to the CBF/MAK21 family. C/EBP ζ stimulates transcription from the HSP70 and HSP40 promoters in a NF-Y dependent manner, requiring an intact NF-Y trimer which binds to the DNA. C/EBP ζ is thought to be a potential tumor suppressor gene, and aberrant methylation of the C/EBP ζ promoter may be involved with acute myeloid leukemia. The C/EBP ζ gene is conserved in a wide number of species including chimpanzee, canine, bovine, mouse, rat, chicken, zebrafish and C. elegans and is located on human chromosome 2. Chromosome 2, the second largest human chromosome, consists of 237 million bases encoding over 1,400 genes, comprising approximately 8% of the human genome. A number of genetic diseases are linked to genes on chromosome 2.
