Background: Mafa acts as a transcriptional factor. Mafa specifically binds the insulin enhancer element RIPE3b. Mafa cooperates synergistically with NEUROD1 and PDX1. Phosphorylation by GSK3 increases its transcriptional activity and is required for its oncogenic activity. Mafa regulates the insulin gene transcription. Mafa is involved either as an oncogene or as a tumor suppressor, depending on the cell context.
