Background
The MAFA protein (Musculoaponeurotic Fibrosarcoma Oncogene Homolog A) is a member of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor family, primarily expressed in pancreatic β-cells, the retina, and lymphocytes. It plays a critical role in regulating the transcription of the insulin gene (INS) by binding to the C1 element in the insulin gene promoter region, thereby promoting insulin synthesis and secretion to maintain glucose homeostasis. The expression and activity of MAFA are regulated by various factors, including glucose concentration, cytokines, and oxidative stress. In diabetes research, dysfunction of MAFA is closely associated with β-cell dysfunction and impaired insulin secretion, making it a potential therapeutic target. Additionally, MAFA also plays important roles in retinal development and immune regulation.

Immunohistochemistry
IHC shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human pancreas. Anti-MAFA antibody was used at 1/200 dilution, followed by a HRP Polymer for Mouse & Rabbit IgG (ready to use). Counterstained with hematoxylin. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
Negative control: IHC shows negative staining in paraffin-embedded human cerebral cortex. Anti-MAFA antibody was used at 1/200 dilution, followed by a HRP Polymer for Mouse & Rabbit IgG (ready to use). Counterstained with hematoxylin. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
