Other Information

**Key Characteristics** ATF3 is a member of the ATF/CREB family of transcription factors, which are known for their ability to regulate gene expression in response to a wide range of stimuli. ATF3 is characterized by its ability to bind to specific DNA sequences and regulate the expression of target genes involved in cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. Its expression is regulated by various signaling pathways, including the ER stress pathway, the amino acid starvation pathway, and the negative regulation of the ERK1/2 cascade. **Pathways and Functions** ATF3 is involved in several key pathways, including: 1. **Endoplasmic Reticulum Unfolded Protein Response (UPR)**: ATF3 is activated in response to ER stress, which is a common feature of various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic disorders. The UPR pathway is activated in response to ER stress, and ATF3 plays a crucial role in regulating the expression of target genes involved in cell survival and proliferation. 2. **Cellular Responses to Stimuli**: ATF3 is involved in regulating cellular responses to various forms of stimuli, including ER stress, amino acid starvation, and starvation. Its expression is regulated by various signaling pathways, including the ER stress pathway, the amino acid starvation pathway, and the negative regulation of the ERK1/2 cascade. 3. **Gene Expression Regulation**: ATF3 is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of target genes involved in cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. Its expression is regulated by specific DNA sequences, and it is involved in regulating the expression of genes involved in various cellular processes, including gluconeogenesis, protein synthesis, and cell cycle progression. 4. **Cell Differentiation**: ATF3 is involved in regulating cell differentiation, particularly in the context of skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Its expression is regulated by specific DNA sequences, and it is involved in regulating the expression of genes involved in muscle cell differentiation. **Clinical Significance** ATF3 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer**: ATF3 is overexpressed in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer. Its expression is regulated by specific DNA sequences, and it is involved in regulating the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation and survival. 2. **Neurodegenerative Disorders**: ATF3 is involved in regulating cellular responses to ER stress, which is a common feature of various neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. 3. **Metabolic Disorders**: ATF3 is involved in regulating cellular responses to ER stress, which is a common feature of various metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. 4. **Skeletal Muscle Diseases**: ATF3 is involved in regulating skeletal muscle cell differentiation and is implicated in various skeletal muscle diseases, including muscular dystrophy and myopathy. In conclusion, ATF3 is a multifunctional transcription factor that plays a crucial role in regulating cellular responses to various forms of stress, including ER stress, amino acid starvation, and starvation. Its expression is regulated by specific DNA sequences, and it is involved in regulating the expression of target genes involved in cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. Its clinical significance is evident in its involvement in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic disorders, and skeletal muscle diseases. Further studies are needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms of ATF3 and its role in various diseases.
