Anti-ATF4 (Activating transcription factor 4, Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 2)

ATF4, Activating Transcription Factor 4 , is also know as CREB2. ATF4 belongs to the large ATF/CREB family of transcription factors which bind DNA via their basic region and dimerize via their leucine zipper domain to form a variety of homo- and heterodimers to regulate gene transcription .It is identified that members of this family share significant sequence similarity within a leucine zipper DNA-binding motif and an adjacent basic region. The ATF4 gene is mapped to chromosome 22. Unlike CREB , which activates transcription from CRE-containing promoters, CREB2 functions as a specific repressor of CRE-dependent transcription. The transcriptional repressor activity resides within the C-terminal leucine zipper and basic domain region of the CREB2 protein.
