products description :
ATF6, also named as Cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-6 alpha is a member of bZIP family, ATF subfamily. ATF6 forms homodimer and heterodimer with ATF6-beta. ATF6 acts by activating specific unfolded protein response target genes during endoplasmic reticulum stress. ATF6 is a ubiquitously expressed transcription factor located at endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. During ER stress an approximately 50kDa fragment containing the N-terminal cytoplasmic domain is cleaved by proteolysis and is translocated into the nucleus. N-glycosylation may serve as a sensor for ER homeostasis. For the binding of ATF6 to ERSE, ESRE should first bind to another transcription factor called Nuclear Transcription Factor Y (NF-Y). ATF6 could also be involved in activation of transcription by interacting with serum response factor. ATF6 is a 74 kDa protein and is highly expressed in kidney, liver, colon and mammary gland.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a transcription factor that activates target genes for the unfolded protein response (UPR) during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Although it is a transcription factor, this protein is unusual in that it is synthesized as a transmembrane protein that is embedded in the ER. It functions as an ER stress sensor/transducer, and following ER stress-induced proteolysis, it functions as a nuclear transcription factor via a cis-acting ER stress response element (ERSE) that is present in the promoters of genes encoding ER chaperones. This protein has been identified as a survival factor for quiescent but not proliferative squamous carcinoma cells. There have been conflicting reports about the association of polymorphisms in this gene with diabetes in different populations, but another polymorphism has been associated with increased plasma cholesterol levels. This gene is also thought to be a potential therapeutic target for cystic fibrosis. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
uniprot summary :
ATF6A: Transcription factor that acts during endoplasmic reticulum stress by activating unfolded protein response target genes. Binds DNA on the 5 -CCAC[GA]-3 half of the ER stress response element (ERSE) (5 -CCAAT-N(9)-CCAC[GA]-3 ) and of ERSE II (5 -ATTGG-N-CCACG-3 ). Binding to ERSE requires binding of NF-Y to ERSE. Could also be involved in activation of transcription by the serum response factor. Belongs to the bZIP family. ATF subfamily. Protein type: Transcription factor; Membrane protein, integral.
