Background: MafA

MafA is a member of the Maf basic leucine-zipper containing transcription factor family. MafA is an islet-enriched protein that plays a role in beta cell-specific and glucose-responsive insulin gene transcription. MafA is expressed exclusively in cell populations that will become islet beta cells. Alternate names for MafA include v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog A, transcription factor MafA, pancreatic beta-cell-specific transcriptional activator, hMafA, and RIPE3b1.

Alternate Names

hMafA, Pancreatic beta-cell-specific transcriptional activator, RIPE3B1, transcription factor MafA, Transcription factor RIPE3b1, V-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog A, v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog A (avian)
