Preferred Label : cyclic AMP receptor protein;
MeSH definition : A transcriptional regulator in prokaryotes which, when activated by binding cyclic
AMP, acts at several promoters. Cyclic AMP receptor protein was originally identified
as a catabolite gene activator protein. It was subsequently shown to regulate several
functions unrelated to catabolism, and to be both a negative and a positive regulator
of transcription. Cell surface cyclic AMP receptors are not included (CYCLIC AMP RECEPTORS),
nor are the eukaryotic cytoplasmic cyclic AMP receptor proteins, which are the regulatory
subunits of CYCLIC AMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASES.;
