Activating transcription factor 3, a member of the activating transcription factor/cyclic
adenosine monophosphate response element-binding family of transcription factors, is an
adaptive response gene that plays an oncogenic role in the development of various cancers.
To our knowledge, few information are available on the possible role of activating
transcription factor 3 in skin cancer. In this study, we investigated the expression of activating
transcription factor 3 in basal cell carcinomas (n= 5), actinic keratoses (n= 7), squamous cell …
