Atf6b

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Predicted to be involved in endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; negative regulation of ATF6-mediated unfolded protein response; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex and protein-DNA complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ATF6B (activating transcription factor 6 beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 rat Atf6b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
