About ATF4

Cytogenetic location: 22q13.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 22:39,520,559-39,522,686 (from NCBI)

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 269 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 183.9), fat (RPKM 87.6) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a transcription factor that was originally identified as a widely expressed mammalian DNA binding protein that could bind a tax-responsive enhancer element in the LTR of HTLV-1. The encoded protein was also isolated and characterized as the cAMP-response element binding protein 2 (CREB-2). The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of DNA-binding proteins that includes the AP-1 family of transcription factors, cAMP-response element binding proteins (CREBs) and CREB-like proteins. These transcription factors share a leucine zipper region that is involved in protein-protein interactions, located C-terminal to a stretch of basic Amino acids that functions as a DNA binding domain. Two alternative transcripts encoding the same protein have been described. Two pseudogenes are located on the X chromosome at q28 in a region containing a large inverted duplication.
