About Atf6

Chromosome 1: 170,532,243-170,695,340 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000994.3

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 218 orthologues, 9 paralogues and is associated with 7 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in heart adult (RPKM 1.2), genital fat pad adult (RPKM 8.5) and 28 other tissues.

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; protein heterodimerization activity; and ubiquitin protein Ligase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; eye; liver; long bone; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achromatopsia 7. Orthologous to human ATF6 (activating transcription factor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
