motifs/domains	an extended leucine zipper structure but without transactivation domain
	a heptad-leucine repeat motif (viz., Leu-zipper) that may mediate protein-protein interactions to regulate transcriptional activities

FAMILY

V-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma (ovarian) oncogene family protein F

CATEGORY

protooncogene

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	binds to the oxytocin receptor (myometrium)
	plays crucial roles in the control of gene expression and development
