Gene name

MAFB

Description

v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog B (avian)

Protein class

Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Mutated genes in cancer, Transcription factors

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor that plays an important role in the regulation of lineage-specific hematopoiesis. The encoded nuclear protein represses ETS1-mediated transcription of erythroid-specific genes in myeloid cells. This gene contains no introns. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Staining summary

The majority of normal tissues showed weak to moderate nuclear positivity, in several cases combined with cytoplasmic staining. Strong nuclear staining was observed in endocrine glands, renal glomeruli and cells in seminiferus ducts. Gastric chief cells showed strong cytoplasmic positivity. The liver, intestinal tract and renal tubules were negative.
