description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Predicted to be involved in endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; negative regulation of ATF6-mediated unfolded protein response; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within mitotic chromosome condensation and negative regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including early endosome; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex and protein-DNA complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ATF6B (activating transcription factor 6 beta). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased cellular sensitivity to thapsigargin and tunicamycin.
