Summary
MAFA (MAF bZIP transcription factor A, HGNC:23145) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8q24.3, encoding Transcription factor MafA (Q8NHW3). Transcription factor that activates insulin gene expression.
MAFA is a transcription factor that binds RIPE3b, a conserved enhancer element that regulates pancreatic beta cell-specific expression of the insulin gene (INS; MIM 176730) (Olbrot et al., 2002 [PubMed 12011435]).
