MAFA
-
Official Full Name
v-maf avian musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog A -
Overview
MAFA is a transcription factor that binds RIPE3b, a conserved enhancer element that regulates pancreatic beta cell-specific expression of the insulin gene (INS; MIM 176730) (Olbrot et al., 2002 [PubMed 12011435]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008] -
