MAF - Maf MAF bZIP transcription factor Gene

Also Known as Maf2; cMaf

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 54267

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; double-stranded DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ayme-Gripp syndrome; cataract; and cataract 21 multiple types. Orthologous to human MAF (MAF bZIP transcription factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
