| Tissue Specificity | Predominantly expressed in B and T lymphocytes. Highest levels in lung. Also expressed in brain, colon, heart, kidney, ovary, and prostate. Weak expression in liver, pancreas, muscle, small intestine, spleen and stomach. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation states of Ser-273 are required for regulating transduction of CREB activity. CRTCs/TORCs are inactive when phosphorylated, and active when dephosphorylated at this site. May be phosphorylated at Ser-391 by MAPK3/ERK1 and/or MAPK1/ERK2 or by some cyclin-dependent kinases such as CDK1,CDK2 or CDK5. Following adenylyl cyclase activation, dephosphorylated at Ser-162 and Ser-273 resulting in its dissociation from 14-3-3 proteins probably promoting CRTC3 translocation into the nucleus. |
| Function | Transcriptional coactivator for CREB1 which activates transcription through both consensus and variant cAMP response element (CRE) sites. Acts as a coactivator, in the SIK/TORC signaling pathway, being active when dephosphorylated and acts independently of CREB1 'Ser-133' phosphorylation. Enhances the interaction of CREB1 with TAF4. Regulates the expression of specific CREB-activated genes such as the steroidogenic gene, StAR. Potent coactivator of PPARGC1A and inducer of mitochondrial biogenesis in muscle cells. Also coactivator for TAX activation of the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) long terminal repeats (LTR). |
