ATF5 Gene Summary [Human]
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and tubulin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including fat cell differentiation; regulation of cell cycle process; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in centrosome; cytosol; and nucleoplasm.

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human ATF5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
