What Does ATF Stand For?
ATF stands for Activating Transcription Factor
Activating Transcription Factor (ATF) refers to a family of proteins that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences in the promoter regions of target genes. These factors are involved in various cellular processes, including responses to stress, differentiation, and metabolism. ATFs are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and are implicated in numerous physiological and pathological conditions, including inflammation and cancer.
