Generic protein structure example

Transcription factor Maf also known as proto-oncogene c-Maf or V-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog is a transcription factor that in humans is encoded by the MAF gene.[1][2]

Types

One type, MafA, also known as RIPE3b1,[3] promotes pancreatic development, as well as insulin gene transcription.[4]

Interactions

MAF has been shown to interact with:
