NCBI Summary for MAFA

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]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

UniProt Comments for MAFA

MAFA: Acts as a transcriptional factor. Specifically binds the insulin enhancer element RIPE3b and activates insulin gene expression. Cooperates synergistically with NEUROD1 and PDX1. Phosphorylation by GSK3 increases its transcriptional activity and is required for its oncogenic activity. Involved either as an oncogene or as a tumor suppressor, depending on the cell context. Binds DNA as a homodimer (Probable). Interacts with NEUROD1, PCAF and PDX1. Up-regulated by glucose. Belongs to the bZIP family. Maf subfamily.

Protein type: Transcription factor; DNA-binding; Tumor suppressor; Oncoprotein

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8q24.3

Cellular Component: nucleus

Molecular Function: DNA binding; protein heterodimerization activity; protein homodimerization activity; transcription factor activity

Biological Process: insulin secretion; nitric oxide mediated signal transduction; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; response to glucose stimulus; transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter

1. These findings demonstrate that regulation of monoamine levels by Mao activity in beta cells is pivotal for physiological insulin secretion and that loss of MaoB expression may contribute to the beta cell dysfunction in type 2 diabetes.
