Abstract excerpt
ATF3 is a highly conserved eukaryotic transcription factor that is ubiquitously upregulated transcriptionally during cellular responses to a variety of stresses, in particular DNA damage. However, the role of ATF3 in the DNA damage response is unclear. Transgenic mice that overexpress human ATF3 in basal epithelial cells under the control of the bovine keratin 5 (K5) promoter were constructed and characterized...
