Target Details for MAF

Target: MAF (V-Maf Musculoaponeurotic Fibrosarcoma Oncogene Homolog (Avian) (MAF))

Alternative Name: MAF

Background:

Background Information: MAF acts as a transcriptional activator or repressor. It is involved in embryonic lens fiber cell development. It recruits the transcriptional coactivators CREBBP and/or EP300 to crystallin promoters leading to up-regulation of crystallin gene during lens fiber cell differentiation. MAF is also involved in the initial chondrocyte terminal differentiation and the disappearance of hypertrophic chondrocytes during endochondral bone development. When overexpressed, MAF represses anti-oxidant reponse element (ARE)-mediated transcription. It may be involved either as an oncogene or as a tumor suppressor, depending on the cell context.
