Target Information

c-Maf is the cellular counterpart of oncogenic v-maf, belonging to the basic region leucine zipper domain transcription factor family. The leucine-zipper domain mediates interaction with LRPICD.
There are two forms of human c-maf mRNA: c-maf-long and c-maf-short. It is identified in the genome of the acute transforming avian retrovirus AS42.

c-maf targets include IL-4 in Th2 cells, crystalline genes in lens fiber cells, insulin gene in islet, p53, and L7, where it acts through binding to a Maf recognition element (MARE).
It regulates Th2 differentiation and lineage-specific hematopoiesis, and functions as a transcription factor for IL-10 gene expression in LPS-activated macrophages.
Chromosomal aberrations involving maf are found in some forms of multiple myeloma. It is expressed in myeloma cell lines and resting monocytes/macrophages.
