About Maz

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).
