Progress on roles and mechanisms of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β in endometrium decidualization / 上海交通大学学报（医学版）

ABSTRACT

CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ) is a critical member of C/EBP family.C/EBPβ,based on the leucine zipper located in C terminal of the protein,can regulate transcriptional activities of downstream target genes involved in diverse cellular processes,such as proliferation and differentiation.Recently published studies have identified that C/EBPβ is essential in the decidualization of endometrial stromal cells.This review summarizes the roles and mechanisms of C/EBPβ during the courses of decidualization,which is aimed at providing novel insights for dysfunctional decidualization.
