ATF4 is a transcription factor, that accumulates predominantly in osteoblasts, where it regulates terminal osteoblast differentiation and bone formation[PMID: 19016586]. As a basic leucine-zipper (bZip) transcription factor, ATF4 can regulate amino acid metabolism, cellular redox state, and anti-stress responses. It also regulates age-related and diet-induced obesity and glucose homeostasis in mammals, and has conserved metabolic functions in flies[PMID: 19726872]. Due to its location at chromosome 22q13, a region linked to schizophrenia, ATF4 is considered as a positional candidate gene for schizophrenia[PMID: 18163433]. Otherwise, since ATF4 is induced by tumour microenvironmental factors, and regulates processes relevant to cancer progression, it might serve as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Endogenous ATF4 protein has a molecular mass of 50kd. [PMID: 17726049]. This antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against full length human ATF4 antigen. The antibody recognizes the 38kd ATF4 protein and its phosphorylated forms (50kd).詳情請登錄EterLife官網(wǎng)：http://www.eterlife.com/
