Mafb - MAF bZIP transcription factor B

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; identical protein binding activity; and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Duane retraction syndrome and multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome. Orthologous to human MAFB (MAF bZIP transcription factor B).
