CREB1

A gene on chromosome 2q34 that encodes a transcription factor of the leucine zipper family of DNA binding proteins, which binds as a homodimer to the cAMP-responsive element. CREB1 is phosphorylated by several protein kinases, and induces transcription of genes in response to hormonal stimulation of the cAMP pathway.

CREB1 mediates the beneficial effects of the diet on the brain by turning on another group of molecules linked to longevity, the 'sirtuins'.
This finding is consistent with the fact that CREB1 is known to regulate important brain functions as memory, learning and anxiety control, and its activity is reduced or physiologically compromised by aging.
Moreover, Italian researchers have discovered that the action of CREB1 can be dramatically increased by simply reducing caloric intake, and have shown that CREB is absolutely essential to make caloric restriction work on the brain.
