W17028A_Pure_ATF6_Antibody_1_041118
Western blot of anti-ATF6 antibody (clone W17028A). Lane 1: Molecular weight marker; Lane 2: 20 µg of Hela cell lysate; Lane 3: 20 µg of lysate from Hela cells treated with 4 mM DTT for 2 hours; Lane 4: 20 µg of SH-SY5Y cell lysate; Lane 5: 20 µg of lysate from SH-SY5Y cells treated with 4 mM DTT for 2 hours; Lane 6: 1 ng of His-tagged human ATF6 α; Lane 7: 1 ng of His-tagged human ATF6 β. The blot was incubated with 0.5 µg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP-labeled goat anti-Rat IgG (Cat. No. 405405). Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system.

    ICC staining of anti-ATF6 antibody (clone W17028A) on Hela cells. The cells were treated with (bottom) or without (top) 4 mM DTT for 2 hours, fixed with 4% PFA, permeabilized with a buffer containing 0.1% Triton X-100 and 0.25% BSA, and blocked with 2% normal goat serum and 0.02% BSA. The cells were then incubated with 5 µg/ml of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with 5 µg/ml of Alexa Fluor® 594 goat anti-Rat IgG (Cat. No. 405422) for one hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. The images were captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm

Description

ATF6 encodes a transcription factor that is anchored in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and activated during the unfolded protein response (UPR) to protect cells from ER stress. Under conditions of ER stress, ATF6 is transported from the ER to the Golgi apparatus, where it is cleaved by Golgi-resident proteases to release the cytosolic DNA-binding portion. Then the processed ATF6 moves to the nucleus to activate gene expression. Deletion of the isoform activating transcription factor 6α (ATF6α) and its paralog ATF6β results in embryonic lethality and notochord dysgenesis in nonhuman vertebrates, and loss-of-function mutations in ATF6α are associated with malformed neuroretina and congenital vision loss in humans. Altered ATF6 function in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease has been observed.

Antigen Details

Structure
ATF6α is a 670 amino acid protein with a molecular weight mass of ~80 kD.
Distribution

Tissue distribution: ATF6 is ubiquitously expressed in numerous cell types including cells in of the central nervous system (CNS).
Cellular distribution: Cytoplasmic, nucleus, ER, and golgi apparatus.

Function
ATF6 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a transcription activator and initiates the unfolded protein response during ER stress.
Interaction
ATF6 interacts with ER chaperone immunoglobulin-binding protein (BiP), and can be cleaved by lumenal site 1 protease (S1P) and intra-membrane site 2 protease (S2P).
