Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor in the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway during ER stress. Either as a homodimer or as a heterodimer with ATF6-alpha, the encoded protein binds to the ER stress response element, interacting with nuclear transcription factor Y to activate UPR target genes. The protein is normally found in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum; however, under ER stress, the N-terminal cytoplasmic domain is cleaved from the rest of the protein and translocates to the nucleus. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Gene Networks

Gene regulatory network (GRN) of the gene in two interaction steps distance for the selected cell types. The network depth can be varied by updating the number in the box of Network Settings. The GRN is based on C3NET algorithm [1]. Each links are the highest association scores for one of the genes of gene pairs. The numbers near the checked boxes refer to the numbers of links contributed by each of the cell types. One can uncheck and remove the links of any of the cell types from the network. The network topology is dynamic and can be re-arranged by pulling a node with a mouse. The solid and dashed lines refer to positive and negative correlations, respectively. Right clicking a node will bring up a menu with additional options. The arrows show the most likely direction of regulation between gene pairs.
