Research Background | Insulin gene expression is regulated by several islet-enriched transcription factors. However, MAFA is the only beta cell-specific activator. MAFA selectively induces endogenous insulin transcription in non-beta cells. MAFA was also first detected in the insulin-producing cells formed during the second and predominant phase of beta cell differentiation, and absent in the few insulin-positive cells found in Nkx6.1(-/-) pancreata, which lack the majority of second-phase beta cells. These results demonstrate that MAFA is a potent insulin activator that is likely to function downstream of Nkx6.1 during islet insulin-producing cell development. |

Biology Area | Co-factors,Other factors,Insulin / Insulin-like |
Function | Acts as a transcriptional factor. Specifically binds the insulin enhancer element RIPE3b. Cooperates synergistically with NEUROD1 and PDX1. Phosphorylation by GSK3 increases its transcriptional activity and is required for its oncogenic activity. Regulates the insulin gene transcription. Involved either as an oncogene or as a tumor suppressor, depending on the cell context. |
Molecular Weight | Theoretical: 37 kDa. |
Stability & Storage | Store at -20°C or -80°C for 12 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Transport | Shipping with blue ice. |
