Alternative Names:
activating transcription factor 2 splice variant ATF2-var2,cAMP response element-binding protein CRE-BP1,cAMP responsive element binding protein 2, formerly,cAMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-2,CREB2,CREB-2,CRE-BP1,cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-2,cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 2,HB16,histone acetyltransferase ATF2,TREB7.
ATF-2 is a member of the group of bZip transcription factors. Heterodimer formation between members of the bZip group is common and is believed to add diversity to the cis-acting elements at which binding of the dimmers is directed. Specifically, ATF-2 may dimerize with c-Jun, as occurs in response to Ela, and in so doing shift the binding preference of c-Jun toward ATF/CRE sites.
