The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It binds to certain DNA sequences called cAMP response elements, thereby increasing or decreasing the transcription of the genes.
- CREB was first described in 1987 as a cAMP-responsive transcription factor regulating the somatostatin gene.
- Genes whose transcription is regulated by CREB include: c-fos, BDNF, tyrosine hydroxylase, numerous neuropeptides, and genes involved in the mammalian circadian clock.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The CREB article was read about 14,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 43: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
How to get CREB
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
