MeSH definition : Maf transcription factors are a family of basic-leucine zipper transcription factors
that are closely related to V-MAF ONCOGENE PROTEIN. The C-MAF PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEIN
was the first mammalian Maf transcription factor identified, and now the family is
known to include a variety of other Maf proteins such as MAFB TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR;
MAFF TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR; MAFG TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR; and MAFK TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR.;
