AP-1 (transcription factor)
In the field of molecular biology, the activator protein 1 is a transcription factor which is a heterodimeric protein composed of proteins belonging to the c-Fos, c-Jun, ATF and JDP families. It regulates gene expression in response to a variety of stimuli, including cytokines, growth factors,...

Genes include ATF1
ATF1
Cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATF1 gene.-Interactions:ATF1 has been shown to interact with CSNK2A2, Casein kinase 2, alpha 1 and BRCA1. EWS,- External links :...
, ATF2
Activating transcription factor 2
Activating transcription factor 2, also known as ATF2, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the ATF2 gene.-Function:This gene encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the leucine zipper family of DNA-binding proteins. This protein binds to the cAMP-responsive element , an octameric...

ATF3
Cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-3 is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the ATF3 gene.-Interactions:ATF3 has been shown to interact with JunD, C-jun, Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3, DNA damage-inducible transcript 3 and P53.- External links :...
