bZIP Maf is a domain found in Maf transcription factor proteins. It contains a leucine zipper (bZIP) domain which mediates the transcription factor’s dimerization and DNA binding properties. The Maf extended homology region (EHR) is present at the N-terminus of the protein. This region (shown in yellow in the image to the right) exists only within the Maf family and allows the family to recognize longer DNA motifs than other leucine zippers.
