Disease:Genetic variations in XBP1 could be associated with susceptibility to major affective disorder type 7 (MAFD7) [MIM:612371]. Major affective disorders represent a class of mental disorders characterized by a disturbance in mood as their predominant feature.,Function:Transcription factor essential for hepatocyte growth, the differentiation of plasma cells, the immunoglobulin secretion, and the unfolded protein response (UPR). Acts during endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER) by activating unfolded protein response (UPR) target genes via direct binding to the UPR element (UPRE). Binds DNA preferably to the CRE-like element 5'-GATGACGTG[TG]N(3)[AT]T-3', and also to some TPA response elements (TRE). Binds to the HLA DR-alpha promoter. Binds to the Tax-responsive element (TRE) of HTLV-I.,induction:Up-regulated by ATF6 via direct binding to the ERSE in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress.,similarity:Belongs to the bZIP family.,similarity:Contains 1 bZIP domain.,
