Cyclic AMP Receptor Protein

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: A transcriptional regulator in prokaryotes which, when activated by binding cyclic AMP, acts at several promoters. Cyclic AMP receptor protein was originally identified as a catabolite gene activator protein. It was subsequently shown to regulate several functions unrelated to catabolism, and to be both a negative and a positive regulator of transcription. Cell surface cyclic AMP receptors are not included (CYCLIC AMP RECEPTORS), nor are the eukaryotic cytoplasmic cyclic AMP receptor proteins, which are the regulatory subunits of CYCLIC AMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASES.      Other names Catabolite Gene Activator Proteins; Catabolite Gene Activator Protein; Catabolite Activator Protein; Catabolic Gene Activators; Receptor Proteins, cAMP; Receptor Protein, cAMP; Proteins, cAMP Receptor; Protein, cAMP Receptor; cAMP Receptor Proteins; Regulator Proteins, Catabolite; Regulator Protein, Catabolite; Proteins, Catabolite Regulator; Proteins, Catabolite Activator; Protein, Catabolite Regulator; Protein, Catabolite Activator; Gene Activators, Catabolic; Gene Activator, Catabolic; Cyclic AMP Receptor Proteins; Catabolite Regulator Proteins; cAMP Receptor Protein
