BATF basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor

Gene ID: 10538, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SFA2; B-ATF; BATF1; SFA-2

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear basic leucine zipper protein that belongs to the AP-1/ATF superfamily of transcription factors. The leucine zipper of this protein mediates dimerization with members of the Jun family of proteins. This protein is thought to be a negative regulator of AP-1/ATF transcriptional events.
