Protein Domain : PAR basic leucine zipper protein IPR040223

Type	Family
Description	PAR basic leucine zipper (bZIP) factors constitute a group of circadian transcription factors that have conserved basic regions flanked by proline- and acidic-amino-aci-rich (PAR) domains and functionally compatible leucine zipper dimerization domains [ ]. PARbZip proteins are transcriptionally controlled by the circadian molecular oscillator, and in turn control expression of transcription factors and enzymes involved in metabolism and xenobiotic detoxification [].This entry includes vertebrates PARbZip proteins thyrotroph embryonic factor TEF/VBP, D site-binding protein (DBP), and hepatic leukemia factor (HLF), and Drosophila giant bZIP factor. Giant regulates the expression of the Krüppel and knirps segmentation gap genes [ ].
