Western blot - Anti-ATF6 antibody [1-7] (AB122897)
Lane 1 : Wild type HAP1 whole cell lysate (50 μg)
Lane 2 : ATF6 knockout HAP1 whole cell lysate (50 μg)
Lanes 1 - 2 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab122897 observed at 95 kDa. Red - loading control, ab181602, observed at 37 kDa.
ab122897 was shown to specifically recact with ATF6 in wild-type HAP1 cells along with additional cross-reactive bands. No band was observed when ATF6 knockout samples were used. Wild-type and ATF6 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab122897 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/500 dilution and 1/10,000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216772) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216777) secondary antibodies at 1/10,000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature before imaging.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-ATF6 antibody [1-7] (AB122897)
Immunofluorescent analysis of HeLa cells using ab122897 at a dilution of 1/100. The cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde. The secondary antibody was an Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG at a dilution of 1/1000. The antibody staining is shown in the top panel, and the merged image with DAPI counter-staining is shown in the lower panel.

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-ATF6 antibody [1-7] (AB122897)
ATF6 was detected by Western blot (Input; lanes 1, 2, 7, and 8) using ab122897 (No. 1-7). After immunoprecipitation (IP) with non-related IgG (IP; lanes 3, 4, 9, and 10) or ab122897 (No. 1-7) (IP; lanes 5, 6, 11, and 12), samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE and analyzed by Western blot using ab122897 (No. 1-7) and anti-mouse IgG antibody (light chain specific).

Biological function summary
ATF6 operates as part of the transcription regulation mechanisms responding to ER stress. The ATF6 protein is essential in managing the expression of chaperone genes and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) components thereby maintaining protein homeostasis. ATF6 itself does not operate within a traditional complex but its activation involves proteolytic cleavage which subsequently releases the active form to the nucleus where it influences gene expression to alleviate stress conditions.
Pathways
ATF6 is prominently involved in the unfolded protein response pathway which manages cell survival and stress adaptation. This pathway closely interacts with other proteins like IRE1 and PERK forming a network that modulates the transcription of UPR target genes. Additionally ATF6 contributes to checkpoint control pathways that stabilize cellular environment by regulating genes related to chaperone and protein folding.
