Cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-6 beta is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ATF6B gene (previously CREBL1).
The protein encoded by this gene bears sequence similarity with the Creb/ATF subfamily of the bZip superfamily of transcription factors. It localizes to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. The gene localizes to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6.
