Myc-Associated Zinc Finger Protein

Preferred Label : Myc-Associated Zinc Finger Protein;

NCIt synonyms : Pur-1; Purine-Binding Transcription Factor; Transcription Factor Zif87; MYC Associated Zinc Finger Protein; Serum Amyloid A-Activating Factor-1; SAF-1; Zinc Finger Protein 801; MAZI; MAZ; ZF87;

NCIt definition : Myc-associated zinc finger protein (477 aa, 49 kDa) is encoded by the human MAZ gene. This protein plays a role in transcriptional activation and sequence-specific binding to gene promoters.;

NCIt note : At least 4 isoforms have been documented for Myc-associated zinc finger protein, which are products of alternative splicing. Isoform 2 may act as a dominant negative when bound to isoform 1. (UniProt);
