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.

Types

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

Interactions

MAF has been shown to interact with:
