basic leucine zipper transcription factor, ATF-like 3
Symbol
BATF3
(may also be known as: None)
Organism
Human
Description
This gene encodes a member of the basic leucine zipper protein family. The encoded protein functions as a transcriptional repressor when heterodimerizing with JUN. The protein may play a role in repression of interleukin-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-1 transcription.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
