Since the identification of the v-maf oncogene in an avian tumor virus, the Maf protein family has grown rapidly, forming a unique subclass of basic-leucine zipper transcription (bZIP) factors. Maf family members appear to play important roles in the regulation of differentiation.
自从在一种禽肿瘤病毒中鉴定出v-maf癌基因以来,Maf蛋白家族迅速发展,形成了碱性亮氨酸拉链转录(bZIP)因子的一个独特亚类。Maf家族成员似乎在分化调控中发挥重要作用。
