The MAFB protein is a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor that plays important roles both in development and in the regulation of lineagespecific hematopoiesis. This gene contains no introns. The abnormal function of MAFB has been implicated in multiple myeloma, myeloid leukemias, multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis, Dupuytren's disease and nonsyndromic cleft lip.
