homolog to murine Kreisler maf-related leucine zipper

Homologene

FAMILY	bZIP family
	Maf subfamily

CATEGORY

transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	transcriptional regulator of lineage specific hematopoiesis by repressing ETS1 mediated transcription of erythoid-specific gene in myeloid cells
	regulator of hindbrain segmentation and interacts with the ICD of LRP1 through a leucine zipper domain
	with MAFA regulate PDX1 transcription in pancreatic beta cells
	plays a pivotal role in regulating lineage-specific hematopoiesis by repressing transcription of erythroid specific genes in myeloid cells and enhancing expression of macrophage and megakaryocytic genes (
	specifically restricts the ability of CSF1 to instruct myeloid commitment divisions in hematopoietic stem cell
	required for proper hindbrain segmentation and regulates other transcription factors involved in hindbrain patterning
	critical for glucagon gene transcription and alpha cell differentiation
	produced in a larger fraction of beta-cells than MAFA during development and regulate potential effectors of glucose sensing, hormone processing, vesicle formation, and insulin secretion
	is one of the earliest direct targets of CDX1 and CDX1 plays a direct role in early hindbrain patterning
	transcription factor that negatively regulates TNFSF11-induced osteoclastogenesis and is essential for normal renal development
	KMT2C, KMT2D are broadly required for controlling MAFA and MAFB transactivation during development and postnatally

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	SUMO modification of MAFB affects the balance between myeloid progenitor expansion and terminal macrophage differentiation by controlling MAFB transactivation capacity and susceptibility to MYB repression
	interacting with PAX6 (binds directly and activates the promoter region of MAFB, MAF, and NEUROD1 genes in pancreatic alpha cells)
	is one of the earliest direct targets of CDX1 and CDX1 plays a direct role in early hindbrain patterning
	interacts with GCM2 and regulates parathyroid hormone expression and parathyroid development
	GATA3 interacted with GCM2 and MAFB, two known transcriptional regulators of parathyroid development, and synergistically stimulated the PTH promoter
	MAFB is a negative regulator of CSF2 signaling in microglia
	MAFB, which is important to beta-cell formation and coproduced with MAFA in adult pancreatic islet beta-cells, bound KMT2D and KMT2C complexes

REGULATION
