GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

Gene name

AATF

Description

apoptosis antagonizing transcription factor

Protein class

Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene was identified on the basis of its interaction with MAP3K12/DLK, a protein kinase known to be involved in the induction of cell apoptosis. This gene product contains a leucine zipper, which is a characteristic motif of transcription factors, and was shown to exhibit strong transactivation activity when fused to Gal4 DNA binding domain. Overexpression of this gene interfered with MAP3K12 induced apoptosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
