Comments and Description Text from UniProtKB
ID:XBP1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=X-box-binding protein 1; Short=XBP-1; AltName: Full=Tax-responsive element-binding protein 5; FUNCTION: Transcription factor essential for hepatocyte growth, the differentiation of plasma cells, the immunoglobulin secretion, and the unfolded protein response (UPR). Acts during endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER) by activating unfolded protein response (UPR) target genes via direct binding to the UPR element (UPRE). Binds DNA preferably to the CRE-like element 5'- GATGACGTG[TG]N(3)[AT]T-3', and also to some TPA response elements (TRE). Binds to the HLA DR-alpha promoter. Binds to the Tax- responsive element (TRE) of HTLV-I. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. INDUCTION: Up-regulated by ATF6 via direct binding to the ERSE in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. DISEASE: Genetic variations in XBP1 could be associated with susceptibility to major affective disorder type 7 (MAFD7) [MIM:612371]. Major affective disorders represent a class of mental disorders characterized by a disturbance in mood as their predominant feature. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the bZIP family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 bZIP (basic-leucine zipper) domain.
