Atf7 - activating transcription factor 7

Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; cAMP response element binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; hepatocyte apoptotic process; and p38MAPK cascade. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and retina. Orthologous to human ATF7 (activating transcription factor 7).
