Gene:
basic leucine zipper transcription factor, ATF-like
Gene ID:
204685
Symbol:
BATF
Species:
1000
Description:
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.
