General annotation (Comments)

Function	Acts as a transcriptional activator or repressor. Plays a pivotal role in regulating lineage-specific hematopoiesis by repressing ETS1-mediated transcription of erythroid-specific genes in myeloid cells. Required for monocytic, macrophage, podocyte and islet beta cell differentiation. Involved in renal tubule survival and F4/80 maturation. Activates the insulin and glucagon promoters. Together with PAX6, transactivates weakly the glucagon gene promoter through the G1 element. SUMO modification controls its transcriptional activity and ability to specify macrophage fate. Binds element G1 on the glucagon promoter By similarity. Involved either as an oncogene or as a tumor suppressor, depending on the cell context. Ref.9
Subunit structure	Homodimer or heterodimer with other bHLH-Zip transcription factors. Binds DNA as a homodimer or a heterodimer. Forms homodimers and heterodimers with FOS, FOSB and FOSL2, but not with JUN proteins (JUN, JUNB and JUND). Interacts with PAX6; the interaction is direct. Interacts with ETS1 and LRP1 By similarity. Interacts with the intracellular cytoplasmic domain of LRP1 (LRPICD); the interaction results in a moderate reduction of MAFB transcriptional potential. Ref.6
Subcellular location	Nucleus By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Ubiquitous. Ref.1
Domain	The leucine-zipper domain is involved in the interaction with LRPICD.
Post-translational modification	Phosphorylated by GSK3 and MAPK13 on serine and threonine residues Probable. Ref.7 Ref.8 Sumoylated. Sumoylation on Lys-32 and Lys-297 stimulates its transcriptional repression activity and promotes macrophage differentiation from myeloid progenitors By similarity.
Involvement in disease	Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome (MCTO) [MIM:166300]: A rare skeletal disorder, usually presenting in early childhood with a clinical picture mimicking juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Progressive destruction of the carpal and tarsal bone usually occurs and other bones may also be involved. Chronic renal failure is a frequent component of the syndrome. Mental retardation and minor facial anomalies have been noted in some patients. Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.10
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the bZIP family. Maf subfamily. Contains 1 bZIP (basic-leucine zipper) domain.
