Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence showing that the gene product to be a target of genes previously linked to ageing
Description

ATF2 is an important transcription factor involved in a variety of functions that may also be involved in oxidative stress response [135] and cellular growth arrest and senescence [137]. It has not been directly related to human ageing.
