Description

BZIP domain-containing protein;Protein skinhead-1

Gene Summary

Enables Hsp70 protein binding activity and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; mitochondrion; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including AB; C; germ line; head ganglion; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; cataract; hepatocellular carcinoma; macular degeneration; and tuberculosis. Orthologous to several human genes including NFE2L1 (NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 1); NFE2L2 (NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2); and NFE2L3 (NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 3).
