Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; cAMP response element binding protein binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including intracellular signal transduction; lens fiber cell morphogenesis; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of DNA-templated transcription and rhythmic process. Predicted to be part of ATF1-ATF4 transcription factor complex and ATF4-CREB1 transcription factor complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; hindbrain; liver; muscle; and trunk. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate carcinoma. Orthologous to human ATF4 (activating transcription factor 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
