Description
Product Characteristics: BATF3, also known as SNFT, belongs to the basic leucine zipper transcriptional family and functions as a transcriptional repressor when heterodimerizing with Jun (1) and can repress the transcription of IL-2 and MMP-1 (1,2). BATF3 is required for the development of CD8alpha+ classical dendritic cells (DCs) and the related CD103+ DCs that cross-present antigens to CD8 T cells (3,4).
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the basic leucine zipper protein family. The encoded protein functions as a transcriptional repressor when heterodimerizing with JUN. The protein may play a role in repression of interleukin-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-1 transcription.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
