| GENE SUMMARY |
|---|
| This gene encodes a transcription factor that was originally identified as a widely expressed mammalian D binding protein that could bind a tax-responsive enhancer element in the LTR of HTLV-1. The encoded protein was also isolated and characterized as the cAMP-response element binding protein 2 (CREB-2). The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of D-binding proteins that includes the AP-1 family of transcription factors, cAMP-response element binding proteins (CREBs) and CREB-like p |

| Nephropathy | 1. Therefore, our demonstrate that the ER stress-regulated ATF4/p16 pathway is involved in the premature senescence of RTECs during diabetic nephropathy (DN) progression. | 25567807 |
| Retinopathy | 1. Taken together, our suggest a critical role of ATF4 in the regulation of MCP-1 production in retinal and brain microvascular endothelial cells, which may contribute to inflammation-related endothelial injury in diseases such as diabetic retinopathy. | 25914608 |
| Neuropathy | 1. ER stress-related proteins GRP78, p-PERK, ATF4 and CHOP were also inhibited by AS-IV in kidney of DN rats. | 30396095 |
