Transcription factor MafA

Protein Summary
Description
Transcription factor that activates insulin gene expression (PubMed:15993959, PubMed:12011435). Acts synergistically with NEUROD1/BETA2 and PDX1 (PubMed:15993959). Binds the insulin enhancer C1/RIPE3b element (PubMed:12011435). Binds to consensus TRE-type MARE 5'-TGCTGACTCAGCA-3' DNA sequence (PubMed:23148532, PubMed:29339498). 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]
