Background: |
UniProt Protein Function: | MAFA: Acts as a transcriptional factor. Specifically binds the insulin enhancer element RIPE3b and activates insulin gene expression. Cooperates synergistically with NEUROD1 and PDX1. Phosphorylation by GSK3 increases its transcriptional activity and is required for its oncogenic activity. Involved either as an oncogene or as a tumor suppressor, depending on the cell context. Binds DNA as a homodimer (Probable). Interacts with NEUROD1, PCAF and PDX1. Up-regulated by glucose. Belongs to the bZIP family. Maf subfamily. |
UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:DNA-binding; Oncoprotein; Transcription factor; Tumor suppressor Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8q24.3 Cellular Component: nucleus Molecular Function:DNA binding; protein homodimerization activity; transcription factor activity Biological Process: insulin secretion; nitric oxide mediated signal transduction; regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; response to glucose stimulus |
NCBI Summary: | 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] |
