MAFK localizations
MAFK [ENSP00000344903]
V-maf avian musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog K; Since they lack a putative transactivation domain, the small Mafs behave as transcriptional repressors when they dimerize among themselves. However, they seem to serve as transcriptional activators by dimerizing with other (usually larger) basic-zipper proteins and recruiting them to specific DNA-binding sites. Small Maf proteins heterodimerize with Fos and may act as competitive repressors of the NF-E2 transcription factor; Belongs to the bZIP family. Maf subfamily.
