This gene encodes an activating transcription factor, which belongs to the ATF subfamily and bZIP (basic-region leucine zipper) family.

It influences cellular physiologic processes by regulating the expression of downstream target genes, which are related to growth, survival, and other cellular activities.

[5] Fusion of this gene and FUS on chromosome 16 or EWSR1 on chromosome 22 induced by translocation generates chimeric proteins in angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma and clear cell sarcoma.
