Source: NCBI Gene (ID 17188)
Symbol: Maz
Full name: MYC-associated zinc finger protein (purine-binding transcription factor)
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: MAZI; PUR1; Pur-1; SAF-1; SAF-2
Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; limb; nervous system; and retina. Orthologous to human MAZ (MYC associated zinc finger protein).
