Activating transcription factor 6 is necessary and sufficient for alcoholic fatty liver disease in zebrafish. [PDF]
Fatty liver disease (FLD) is characterized by lipid accumulation in hepatocytes and is accompanied by secretory pathway dysfunction, resulting in induction of the unfolded protein response (UPR).

IL-6/STAT3 Induced Neuron Apoptosis in Hypoxia by Downregulating ATF6 Expression
Background: Neuron apoptosis, regulated by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the hippocampus, is an essential factor influencing the cognitive impairment induced by hypobaric hypoxia.

Regulating the trafficking of the unfolded protein response (UPR) reporter ATF6 [PDF]
The activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) is one of the three membrane proteins, which responds to misfolded protein induced stress, in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Molecular mechanisms involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress development: What do we know today [PDF]
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an intracellular organelle involved in protein synthesis and folding. When the balance between cell needs for proteins and ER capacity to fold proteins is disrupted, nonfunctional, unfolded, or misfolded proteins accumulate ...

Transcriptional Factor ATF6 is Involved in Odontoblastic Differentiation [PDF]
ATF6 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane-bound transcription factor that regulates various cellular functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of ATF6 in odontoblast differentiation. Rat tooth germs were isolated, changes in gene expression were evaluated over time, and localization of ATF6 was determined by ...

Activation of ATF6 and an ATF6 DNA Binding Site by the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Response
ATF6 is a member of the basic-leucine zipper family of transcription factors. It contains a transmembrane domain and is located in membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum. ATF6 has been implicated in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response pathway since it can activate expression of GRP78 and other genes induced by the ER stress response.

Mutation of ATF6 causes autosomal recessive achromatopsia [PDF]
Achromatopsia (ACHM) is an early-onset retinal dystrophy characterized by photophobia, nystagmus, color blindness and severely reduced visual acuity. Currently mutations in five genes CNGA3, CNGB3, GNAT2, PDE6C and PDE6H have been implicated in ACHM. We performed homozygosity mapping and linkage analysis in a consanguineous Pakistani ACHM family and ...

Roles and Clinical Significances of ATF6, EMC6, and APAF1 in Prognosis of Pancreatic Cancer
Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is prevalent among malignant tumors with poor prognosis and lacks efficient therapeutic strategies. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and apoptosis are associated with chronic inflammation and cancer progression ...

Endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response in lung diseases: molecular pathways and therapeutic interventions. [PDF]
Abstract Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) occurs when the protein‐folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is overwhelmed, triggering the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore homeostasis. However, severe or persistent ERS can shift the UPR toward pro‐inflammatory, apoptotic, and fibrotic signaling, thereby exacerbating tissue injury ...
