    basic FUNCTION
  • can mediate both Ca2+ and cAMP transcriptional responses (Liu et al, 1993)
  • mediating the E1A responsiveness
  • activating transcription factor 1
  • having a role as a hypoxia-responsive trans-activator
  • photoreceptors degeneration leads to phosphorylation and increase expression of CREB1/ATF1 complex which is associated with a neuroprotective outcome in photoreceptors (Beltran et al, 2009)
  • markedly affected the resistance to heat shock
  • functions as an oncogene by affecting cell apoptosis, and two causal SNPs, located in the ATF1 promoter and first intron, synergistically predispose to colorectal cancer risk through a promoter-enhancer interaction mediated by SP1 and GATA3
  • important role of ATF1 in the development of colorectal cancer
  • is a novel pluripotent regulator in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
