Batf2 - basic leucine zipper transcription factor, ATF-like 2

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in defense response to protozoan and myeloid dendritic cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in brain; central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; lung; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human BATF2 (basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor 2).
