Recombinant Human V-maf Musculoaponeurotic Fibrosarcoma Oncogene F

Source : E.coli. MAFF Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 187 amino acids (1-164) and having a molecular mass of 20.1kDa. MAFF is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. V-maf Musculoaponeurotic Fibrosarcoma Oncogene F (MAFF) which is expressed in the term myometrium and kidney is a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor which lacks a transactivation domain. MAFF is known to bind the US-2 DNA element in the promoter of the oxytocin receptor (OTR) gene and probably heterodimerizes along with other leucine zipper-containing proteins to enhance expression of the OTR gene throughout pregnancy period. MAFF also forms homodimers, and since it lacks a transactivation domain, the homodimer operates as a repressor of transcription.
