Target Information

The maf oncogene was identified by structural analysis of the AS42 avian transforming retrovirus genome. The Maf family is divided into two subclasses: large Mafs (vMaf, cMaf, MafB, and Nrl) and small Mafs (MafF, MafK, and MafG). Both subclasses contain leucine zipper motifs, allowing homodimerization and heterodimerization with other bZip transcription factors.
Large Mafs include an acidic transactivation domain absent in small Maf proteins. Although small Mafs lack inherent transactivation activity, they can act as positive regulators of transcription by forming active dimers or as negative regulators by recruiting repressors or forming inactive homodimers.
Human MafF, a small Maf protein of 164 amino acids, was isolated from a human myometrium cDNA library. Small Maf proteins are implicated in development, differentiation, hematopoiesis, and stress response, regulating these processes via distinct mechanisms.
