GenAge entry for ATF2 (Homo sapiens)
Gene name (HAGRID: 193)
- HGNC symbol
- ATF2
- Aliases
- TREB7; CRE-BP1; HB16; CREB2
- Common name
- activating transcription factor 2
Potential relevance to the human ageing process
- Main reason for selection
- Entry selected based on evidence showing that the gene product to be a target of genes previously linked to ageing
- Description
ATF2 is an important transcription factor involved in a variety of functions that may also be involved in oxidative stress response [135] and cellular growth arrest and senescence [137]. It has not been directly related to human ageing.
