Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; identical protein binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; positive regulation of ATF6-mediated unfolded protein response; and visual perception. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of autophagy and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Biomarker of borna disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achromatopsia 7. Orthologous to human ATF6 (activating transcription factor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
Expression
Biased expression in Kidney (RPKM 188.3), Liver (RPKM 159.4) and 9 other tissues See more

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.
