This gene encodes a protein that specifically binds to a Pit1-binding element of the prolactin (PRL) promoter. This protein may act as a transcriptional regulator and is thought to be involved in some of the developmental abnormalities observed in patients with partial trisomy 2p. This gene overlaps the abhydrolase domain containing 1 (ABHD1) gene on the opposite strand. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

A study in mice demonstrated that chronic methamphetamine administration significantly dysregulates the PREB in microglia, where it is involved in the protein processing of endoplasmic reticulum pathway [Oladapo et al. DOI:10.3390/Ijms26020649].
