Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 22926
Gene name Activating transcription factor 6
Gene symbol ATF6
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ACHM7ATF6AATP6alpha
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q23.3
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 transmembr
