ATF6 antibody was raised in Rabbit using a synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the C-terminal region of human ATF6, different from the related Rabbit and rat sequences by two amino acids, as the immunogen.

General Information
Biological Significance
ATF6 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-regulated transmembrane transcription factor that activates the transcription of ER molecules. Accumulation of misfolded proteins in the Endoplasmic Reticulum results in the proteolytic cleavage of ATF6. The cytosolic portion of ATF6 will move to the nucleus and act as a transcription factor to cause the transcription of ER chaperones.
