MAF1 polyclonal antibody

Product Specifications

Background

MAF1 is a 256 amino acid protein that localizes to the nucleus and is the human homolog of the yeast Maf1 protein. Interacting with BRF2, MAF1 functions to mediate signals that specifically repress the activity of RNA polymerase III (Pol III), specifically by inhibiting the assembly of TFIIIB onto DNA. The gene encoding MAF1 maps to human chromosome 8, which consists of nearly 146 million base pairs, houses more than 800 genes and is associated with a variety of diseases and malignancies. Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Trisomy 8, Pfeiffer syndrome, congenital hypothyroidism, Waardenburg syndrome and some leukemias and lymphomas are thought to occur as a result of defects in specific genes that map to chromosome 8.
