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]
  • Synonyms

    MAFA;v-maf avian musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog A;hMafA;RIPE3b1;transcription factor MafA;transcription factor RIPE3b1;pancreatic beta-cell-specific transcriptional activator
