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. ^{[5] [6]}

Types

One type, MafA, also known as RIPE3b1, ^[7] promotes pancreatic development, as well as insulin gene transcription. ^[8]

Interactions

MAF has been shown to interact with:

• CREBBP ^[9]
• EP300 ^[9]
• MYB ^[10]
• SOX9. ^[11]
