A portion of amino acids 188-216 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this ATF5 antibody.
Transcriptional activator which binds the cAMP response element (CRE) (consensus: 5-GTGACGT[AC][AG]-3), a sequence present in many viral and cellular promoters and blocks the differentiation of neuroprogenitor cells into neurons. Its transcriptional activity is enhanced by CCND3 and slightly inhibited by CDK4.
