During recent years, the biological roles of CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPs) in the lung have started to be uncovered. C/EBPs form a family within the basic region-leucine zipper class of transcription factors. In the lung epithelium C/EBP{alpha}, -{beta}, and -{delta} are expressed. Lung-specific target genes for these transcription factors include the surfactant proteins A and D, the Clara cell secretory protein, and the P450 enzyme CYP2B1. As more information is gathered, a picture is emerging in which C/EBP{alpha} has a role in regulating proliferation as well as differentiation-dependent gene expression, whereas C/EBP{beta} and -{delta}, in addition to a partly overlapping role in regulating expression of differentiation markers, also seem to be involved in responses to injury and hormones.
